Asked via mail. Here&#x27;s the response:<p>I can&#x27;t foretell the future, but it is important to realize that ChatGPT is not artificial intelligence. It has no intelligence; it doesn&#x27;t know anything and doesn&#x27;t understand anything. It plays games with words to make plausible-sounding English text, but any statements made in it are liable to be false. It can&#x27;t avoid that because it doesn&#x27;t know what the words _mean_.

Was the gist generated by ChatGPT? Regardless, large language models are AI, same as Eliza the Emacs Psychoterapist was in days of yore. It&#x27;s numbers in and numbers out, only much more advanced.
