Hi !
I asked ChatGPT

Generate a text file that can be opened with PureData and represents a synthesizer reacting to MIDI input and producing a sinusoidal sound on stereo output.

It needed 12 trials and failures and 9 more when I asked for a slider to control the volume.
At the end it gave me

#N canvas 0 0 450 350 10;
#X obj 35 71 midiin;
#X obj 35 135 mtof;
#X obj 105 175 osc~;
#X obj 35 215 *~ 0.5;
#X obj 35 255 vsl 0 1 0.01 0.5;
#X obj 175 255 dac~;
#X connect 0 0 1 0;
#X connect 1 0 2 0;
#X connect 2 0 3 0;
#X connect 4 0 3 1;
#X connect 3 0 5 0;

It certainly needs much more training to give us an interesting patch!

that is how it is: chatGPT is more intelligent than 90% of the word population, but unfortunately that means nothing.

i mean we drive sport-offroad-cars in the city, we build houses with flat roofs, and we litter the ocean with plastic bottles, what could a machine learn from us?

It's not. It makes up answers that sound correct, but not based on real understanding. This may change at some point but it's not there yet.

If humans can't tell the difference, that's humans' fault.

As I understand ChatGPT is based on a generation which choose one word after another, it doesn't have the answer to our question until it writes it down.

To be honest, that's exactly how I wrote papers in college.

90% of the humans are not even able to give answers which sound correct.

I'm not sure which is worse: an idiot who is obviously wrong, or an idiot who sounds thoroughly convincing.

I don't have the link handy, but one commentator called GPT a "mansplaining machine" -- often wrong, but projecting absolute confidence in its answers.

Social media haven't helped, because every damn moron's opinion gets preserved in the digital record instead of being forgotten by the time you get home from the pub. So we get used to stupidity acquiring the air of legitimacy that comes simply from appearing in print.

Either you include yourself in these 90% and this sentence doesn't sound correct or you have excessive pride.

ChatGPT is nothing but a tool. As for all tools I have to try it before I can decide its usefulness.

I seems to me, that in the English language, it writes well.
It's not on the level of D.H.Lawrence or Victor Hugo, but then it doesn't actually "think" and only pretends to have feelings.
It's a robber bot, programmed by the minnions of robber Barons, who will need to be very careful that they do not infringe the property rights of the authors of the original material.
At the moment it is being trained by scraping the web.
The money will be made through data analysis...... for example in medicine..... where governments are keen to give them the non-personalised data...... for a share of the rewards.
It might on occasions accidentally make 2+2=5 and "invent" something.
But as @ddw_music mentioned, "AI" will always suffer, as we all do, from the oldest computer and human virus..... "garbage in garbage out"...... when it interacts with we, the people.

then it is evident: chatGPT is a politician.
