>ChatGPT failed to understand that the raycaster works on the CPU, but the displacement map of the material is applied on the GPU side, so the displaced geometry won't be used, only the original one. It managed to explain this to me, that this was not possible, but each sample code repeatedly did as if it was possible, until I gave up.

Reflecting on it, what's crazy is that this comment will likely wind up in the training data for GPT-N+1, and then GPT-N+1 will get it right.

What's also crazy is that GP's comment exist in the first place. Five years ago, complaining that a chatbot failed to understand the complexities of realtime 3D rendering when explained to it in plain English would be seen as confusing science fiction with reality. Hell, five years ago, we'd be reminded to avoid using anthropomorphizing language (such as "the software failed to understand"). Today, that same language is the most apt description of what we observe.
