I’ve heard it said that proof of language fluency is when you can crack a joke (on purpose) that makes a native speaker laugh. In my experience that’s pretty true.
I’ve used ChatGPT. It’s not curious, and it’s not funny. It’s just a machine. It has no agency and no personality. There’s no life there.
