With ChatGPT, is the college essay dead?

[QUOTE="gleem, post: 6846852, member: 298988"] Yes, certainly ChatGPT does search and it is fundamental to what it does, but even humans do, in response to a question. While you used the term prettify as a description of its output compared to google, google lists sources compatible with the question (well mostly) while ChatGTP synthesizes an answer to the question in a manner of a human response. Langauge usage was a uniquely human activity and is considered one element of intelligence. But clearly, intelligence is much more than being able to talk or write. AI as it is being developed is more of an idiot savant, very good for a specific activity, it writes well, and if the data it uses is respectable it provides reasonable responses. When GPT is used for specific knowledge bases for example as a medical advisor it must be fine-tuned according to Sam Altman of OpenAI. The video above testing physics knowledge was a bit of a straw man but definitely shows its limitations as should have been expected. Let me be clear I do not see intelligence in ChatGPT. The excitement last year about Google's transformer LaMDA caused by an engineer who thought it was sentient was way out of bounds. However, LaMDA responds like a human in a discussion. It does not know in any sense of the word but to have AGI it has to be able to do this. How much of what we say is like this, basically reflex. [/QUOTE]
