To be honest, there have been occasions where I've been failing miserably for some time to come up with solutions to some sysadmin nature problems with my own systems and I've taken my problem straight to GPT-4 with a clear explanation of the issue alongside with any diagnostics I thought would make sense. To my very surprise, GPT-4 did an astonishing job reasoning on the specifics of my system (aarch64 exotic setup, alpinelinux on asahi) and came back with a very specific on point list of suggestions which included the very solution as #1. I've had it hold my hand many times while navigating relatively complex and niche systems like android smartphones with custom partitioning schemes booting linux and what have you and yes, it still was still, very reasonable, to say the least. So to conclude, it has the ability to reason properly for systems and situations that it's not necessary trained in and displays the ability for coherent reasoning on specifics over things which at least for September 2021 were relatively unknown. I'm really wondering how far this thing needs to get in order for some people to admit its more than a model spitting a token next to another, or some type of mentalist doing an excellent job in hypnotising most of us into thinking it already displays incredible intelligence but its smoke and mirrors. |

You’re very likely to get good results with the first example that comes to your head because it will be something conventional for which the short-circuiting gets the right answer. Once you sample the problem space fairly you find the glass is maybe half-full or half-empty but it’s clear to me that one of the competences the chatbot has is getting people to give it more credit than it deserves.
