“ChatGPT couldn’t solve world hunger, nor could it come up with a peaceful solution to Israel and Palestine when I asked it! See, I told you it’s useless and not really intelligent.” — hyperbole but not even that far from some comments I’ve seen.

Au contraire. It succeeded the opposite.

Yeah there's a lot of "well fine, you invented a teleporter but it doesn't work with dogs so who cares?".

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, because this is precisely what I'm seeing from both the IT crowd and the general public.

"Computers understand English now, but they occasionally make mistakes, so who cares?"

Something I've noticed is that GPT 4 seems to make mistakes less often than humans. That is, if you asked a random person to stand up in a lecture hall and answer questions thrown at them like the type people have been trying on ChatGPT, they would fail at least 50% of the time, like more.

For example, from what I can tell, GPT 4 has nearly perfect spelling and grammar. Better than mine, certainly, and up there with professional copy editors.
