Reply to comment by LarsPensjo in I asked ChatGPT if it is sentient, and I can't really argue with its point by wtfcommittee

Nope, that's just its prediction of what string of characters corresponds to your prompt.

Ok. Is there anything you can ask me, where the answer can't be explained as me just using a prediction of a string of characters corresponds to your prompt?

That's a red herring, because your ability to generate text without being prompted proves that you don't just predict strings of characters in response to prompts. But I'll be a good sport. I could ask you any personal question that has a unique answer of which you have perfect knowledge: What's your mother's maiden name? What's your checking account number? Etc.

You asked for an example of a question that can't be answered by next-word prediction.

Try asking an unusual question that one would have to reason with to answer. He will miss. This has already been shown in this same sub today.
