One of the decisive moments in my understanding of #LLMs and their limitations was when, last autumn, @emilymbender walked me through her Thai Library thought experiment.
She's now written it up as a Medium post, and you can read it here. The value comes from really pondering the question she poses, so take the time to think about it. What would YOU do in the situation she outlines?
That sounds good in the abstract but I don’t think it really reflects reality. ChatGPT really does appear to be able to reason in surprising ways. Good write up with some example output here https://medium.com/@fergal.reid/why-are-so-many-giants-of-ai-getting-gpts-so-badly-wrong-f8dadfac4f61

This is a brilliant article, and it looks like they've actually used ChatGPT. I get the sense from a lot of the AI articles that the people writing them haven't played around with ChatGPT itself beyond very surface level interactions or they've only used one of the lower powered versions.
