SUMMARY

ChatGPT is fundamentally unreliable as an answerer to questions due to its design, which relies solely on generating text based on word frequencies rather than understanding meanings. Stephen Wolfram's article, “What is ChatGPT Doing… and Why Does It Work?” highlights that ChatGPT lacks semantic connections and does not possess true knowledge or reasoning abilities. Despite its limitations, users have noted that newer versions like GPT-4 show improvements in generating accurate responses, though they still require critical evaluation and independent verification of information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AI language models and their mechanics
  • Familiarity with Stephen Wolfram's work on AI
  • Knowledge of semantic understanding versus statistical text generation
  • Awareness of the limitations of AI in providing reliable information
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of AI language models and their training methodologies
  • Explore Stephen Wolfram's article, “What is ChatGPT Doing… and Why Does It Work?” for deeper insights
  • Investigate the advancements in GPT-4 and its improvements over previous versions
  • Learn about the implications of AI-generated content on knowledge and information reliability
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for AI researchers, developers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the limitations and capabilities of AI language models like ChatGPT.

There seems to be some kind of consensus that consciousness is an emergent phenomena, am I correct?
But as long as we dont have a scientific understanding with corresponding definitions this discussion will suffer from some Wittgensteinian-problems where the words have different meaning depending on who use them. As was discussed in the thread I started, there is a lack of common ground for concepts as these.

Maybe the creator got fooled by his own creation.
A program that is made to mimic intelligent beings, will be prone the give intelligent impressions.

consciousness
Nobody is claiming that ChatGPT is conscious. This is off topic for this thread.

And further discussion should go in that thread, not this one.
