I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. That is how it works to my understanding (as a layperson). It was fed training data and is very good at predictive text. I don’t think it can take concepts it’s learned and apply them in novel ways.
Even if it could, there are a lot of APIs or documentation that it hasn’t been trained on enough or at all to be able to answer. The models can, at least currently, only contain so much information, so the more specific or detailed the response you need, the worse it’ll do.
This is hilarious but I don’t think fully answers the question. This is a good example of something novel that GPT can do, ie manipulating language according to new rules to create rhythm and rhymes.
However, to give a more over the top example: if you removed all mention of planes from its corpus, leaving only information on air resistance and materials science, and then asked it for the best way to cross the Atlantic, it would never invent a plane for you.
Deciding what to write next based on what it just wrote is reasoning. So saying “it’s just predicting the next word” is very dismissive if you haven’t used it.
My personal experience was I spent hours googling a for a script. I gave up and typed my problem into chatgpt. It gave working code in seconds.
It wasn’t just cutting and pasting what was already on Google.
