chatGPT doesn't understand a thing it tells you right now, nor can it 'code in multiple languages'. It can however fake it very well. Give me an example of truly novel code that chatGPT wrote that is not some preprogrammed examples strung together in what seems like a unique way to you. I've tried quite a bit recently to test its limits with simple yet novel requests, and it stubs its toe or falls over nearly every time, basically returning a template, failing to answer the question correctly, or just dying in the middle of the response when given a detailed prompt, etc. It doesn't know 'how to code' other than basically slapping together code snippets from its training data, just like I can do by searching in google and copy pasting code from the top results from SO etc. There are still wrong answers at times.. proving it really doesn't know anything. Just because there appears to be some randomness to the answers it gives doesn't necessarily make it 'intelligence'. The LLM is not AGI that would be needed to actually learn and know how to program. It uses supervised learning (human curated), then reward based learning (also curated), then a self-generated PPO model (still based on human-trained reward models) to help reinforce the reward system with succinct policies. Its a very fancy chatbot, and fools a lot of people very well! We will have AGI eventually, its true, but this is not it yet and while it may seem pedantic because this is so exciting to many, there IS a difference.
