If you truly believe that, you haven't studied the human brain. Or any brain, for that matter. There is a massive divide.

Ask it for a joke.

But more importantly, it has no idea what a chair is. It has mapped the association of the word chair to other words, and it can connect them together in a convincingly meaningful way, but it only has a simple replication of associative memory. It's lacking so many other functions of a brain.

That's a fantastic question. ChatGPT is a replication of associative memory with an attention mechanism. That means it has associated strings with other strings based on a massive amount of experience. However, it doesn't contain a buffer that it works through. We have a working space in our heads where we can replay information, ChatGPT does not. In fact, when you pump in an input, it cycles through the associative calculations, comes to an instantaneous answer, and then ceases to function until another call is made. It doesn't consider the context of the problem because it has no context. Any context it has is inherited from its training set. To compare it with the Chinese room experiment, imagine if those reading the output of the Chinese room found it to have some affect. Maybe it has a dry sense of humor, or is a bit of an airhead. That affect would come exclusively from the data set, and not from some bias in the room. I really encourage you to read more about neuroscience if you'd like to learn more. There have been brilliant minds considering intelligence since long before we were born, and every ML accomplishment has been inspired by their work.

This is a language model you're discussing. It's a mathematical model that calculates the correlation between words.

It doesn't think. It doesn't plan. It doesn't consider.

We'll have that someday, but it is in the distant future.

It's probably an increase in congestion. People will stay in the left lane if there is another car coming up they need to pass. At a certain level of congestion, this just leaves them in the left lane permanently.
