It’s amazing how easily people are fooled into thinking something is intelligent. I met Stephen Hawking once and asked him how to slice video with ffmpeg. He didn’t have a clue! Obviously he isn’t an intelligent person. Yet so many people think he is smart.

Your strawman argument isn't impressive either, even chatGPT knows how to avoid them! But I'll play along! Didn't happen to try something different, like playing 20 questions? Or something else? Because I've already given those as other examples for simple tasks that I don't think a banal text prediction algorithm could do.
