Here is a link to an insightful podcast about the potentials and pitfalls of AI.
A guest, Emily Bender a professor at the University of Washington points out that it is not really AI. Chat-GPT is language model that is really good at prediction of what comes next and summary. I believe she was making the argument that the OpenAI was engineering Chat-GPT to make it seem like the product has intelligence and giving it human like qualities.
