    The best ones can literally write pretty good code, and explain any concept on the Internet to you that you ask them to. If you don’t understand a specific thing about their explanation, they can add onto their explanation, and they can respond in the style you want (explain as if I’m ten, explain as if I’m an undergrad, etc).

    I use it literally every day for work in a somewhat niche field. I don’t really agree that it’s a “parlor trick”.

      No they can’t. Your phrasing is misleading. It’s a Chinese Room test output and nothing more. I had an Encarta CD that could do rudimentary version of this in 1995. That was more impressive, tbh.

        If you’re really comparing LLM’s to your Encarta cd from 1995 and saying the Encarta CD was the superior experience…

        I’m afraid there’s not much left for us to discuss… Our views are too far apart.
