ChatGPT isn't the entirety of AI, AI research has been going on much longer than ChatGPT has been around
Isn't chatGPT just a beefed up predictive text engine?
Yes. Honestly it's crazy how much people read into ChatGPT, when in practice it's effectively just a dice roller that depends in incredibly big dataset to guess what's the most likely word to come next.
There's been some research about this, the fact that people are assigning intelligence into things that ML does. Because it doesn't compute for us that something can appear to make sense without actually having any intelligence. To humans, the appearance of the intelligence is enough to assume intelligence - even if it's just a result of a complicated dice roller.
AI has been being developed for 50 years and the best we can do so far is a dunning-kruger sim. Sure, who knows what it "can do" at some point, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
