Here is an example of an emergent ability of ChatGPT that you can try yourself right now.

Give it this prompt: "Write a short play where "Karen" (who behaves as the Karen meme) is on a romantic date with Hunter S. Thompson. They are eating at a Chinese restaurant."

It is able to script their interaction and dialog in a way that makes sense in the context of the setting and their personalities, including an absurd meme character. That is an emergent ability that it was not trained to do and is certainly not in its training set.

Try it. Add different characters. Ask it to rewrite the play using pirate metaphors. You can go deep into its "mind" and see the emergent abilities at play. Just apply some creativity and skip the boring arithmetic problems, as that's a well accepted weakness of this type of model.
