All this progress in artificial intelligence makes us think more deeply about what we mean by "intelligence." As you already know, AI is used all over today's culture - including diverse applications like farm management, your kitchen appliances, business and military virtual reality training, health care.
It looks like real intelligence. But it's still "narrow" AI which simply performs a task it is commanded to do based on the data it collects and on the goal that it is designed to reach.
Last November, ChatGPT was brought to the public by its creator Open AI. It generates text when given a command in ordinary language, and that makes it look like it has "general" AI (the human kind). But it doesn't. It is still just computing data as its programming dictates.
It doesn't know what the words mean. It doesn't know or care whether its sources are true. When asked to reveal where it got the information it bases its claims on, it just makes them up.
