I'm not aware of any mainstream researcher who thinks the missing text problem[1] is impossible for Turing machines. Perhaps some think neural networks are insufficient to achieve it, but this is a different thing.

ChatGPT is state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) NOT NLU
That's an artificial distinction without a difference.

It's just software and it solves the problem.
