REMINDER: ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and other large trained neural models are NOT "artificial intelligence", they're just stochastic parrots, remixing and regurgitating what they've been fed. There's no theory-of-mind involved, so no understanding: there's no "there" there. (A real live parrot exhibits more intelligence than this.)
Don't call it AI; call it parrot-tech. That way you'll have a better perspective on what it can (and can't) do.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't this the "artificial" in AI?
@ajlanes
That makes sense, but I wonder if that distinction is actually helpful. If something is truly intelligent, does it really matter if it's coming from silicon or carbon? I mean, it's kind of like calling jet propulsion flight "artificial flight" because it's not driven by the movement of a musculoskeletal system, when it seems much more useful to make the distinction between flying and gliding.
@conditional_soup The artificial is originally supposed to mean we crafted it, not that it is not intelligence.
