It’s super weird that it would attempt to give a time duration at all, and then get it wrong.
It doesn't know what it's doing. It doesn't understand the concept of the passage of time or of time itself. It just knows that that particular sequence of words fits well together.
This is it. Gpt is great for taking stack traces and put them into human words. It's also good at explaining individual code snippets. It's not good at coming up with code, content, or anything. It's just good at saying things that sound like a human within an exceedingly small context
Yeah. I would also say that WE don’t understand what it means to “understand” something, really, if you try to explain it with any thoroughness or precision. You can spit out a bunch of words about it right now, I’m sure, but so could ChatGPT. What’s missing from GPT is harder to explain than “it doesn’t understand things.”
I actually find it easier to just explain how it does work. Multidimensional word graphs and such.
