Re: My Chat with ChatGPT

Thank you Mike

I have signed up and asked a couple of questions, but I would have to check
the answers, do not have much time to play much with it now - ok, busy
playing with other things-

I am sure your evaluation fits to some extent, but I would need more
in-depth evaluation system-wide to understand the capability better, m,y
feel that the architecture is heterogeneous (works in some ways in some
parts and other ways in other parts)

As to whether it is intelligent or not, its a matter of definition
We cannot compare human intelligence to machine intelligence yet, however
a machine is intelligent some if it can do information processing

Not all intelligence can be automated, but some intelligent processes can,
the whole point of intelligent systems

So much to read on the subject, so little time to talk about it
