It's a word association machine, it's not even at kindergarten level when it comes to general cognition.

Regardless, it is foolish to belive it won't improve and take over tasks that in 2023 it still isn't able to do.

Who would guess, beyond Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that I can use my phone in 2023 to translate anything on a foreign restaurant in real time.

It will of course continue to improve at what it does but I personally think it's unrealistic to assume it will somehow spontaneously develop generalised cognitive ability; there are surely limits to how far this particular approach will take us.
