Thanks, that was essentially the test. I've gotten into a number of disagreements with people on HN about whether LLMs are 'just' token predictors, whether they 'understand' (whatever we mean by that), whether there's a guiding intelligence, whether they're 'just' language calculators, etc.

As someone else in this thread nicely put it, the tools are being sold as a hop, skip, and jump away from AGI. They clearly aren't. ChatGPT tells us to "ask anything." I did that. There is no 'there' there with these tools. They aren't even dumb.
