Then why does it seem to have some kind of theory of computation?

I gave it code to compute a Fibonacci sequence with nonsense names for functions and it immediately recognized the code (explainable by pattern matching).

I gave it a function and told it to modify the function so that it passes a test, and it did it without a problem.

I’ve had it build a function up by feeding it different test cases.

I had it explain kmeans to me, give me a first-pass solution, asked it how to optimize the first solution, had it do that for me …

I don’t know - it feels different. It also feels like it’s 1-2 years away from being the most useful co-worker on any given team and 5-10 years away from putting a number of us out of a job (or at least changing that job so much as to be something unrecognizable to us today)

What's funny is that most of human intelligence is of itself the work of a few select humans regurgitated by the rest of humans.
