The next page in the book of AI evolution is here, powered by GPT 3.5, and I am very, nay, extremely impressed

Again, whether ChatGPT has any access to the semantic properties of words is exactly what’s at issue; the Newman argument, if correct, shows it doesn’t. I’ve explicated it several times in this thread, and won’t do so again just now, but I might perhaps start a separate thread on the issue.

@Arjuna34

Do we know that’s a priori impossible in all cases?

I’ve made good on my earlier promise/threat to @wolfpup , and started a thread making the positive case that there is no understanding in ChatGPT over in GD. If that is true, I don’t see how there could be any way that ChatGPT could act as a universal translator in this sense.
