I think (no background in AI) that the solution touted as AI in the form of ChatGPT is nothing more than a glorified search engine with a language engine to narrow down and synthesise results as a script rather than links.

The possible scenario I can visualise is that it picks up solutions from various online databases like github and similar that it may have indexed over time. Then synthesise these results to deliver the output. Therefore, the real test will be to test it with a creative problem rather than something that it may already have stumbled upon in its indexing of various sites.

I see the Boston Dynamics robotic dogs and bipeds that show off their dancing and prancing skills. However, if you look at it as a copy-paste in mechatronics, it makes sense. Copy an acrobats movements and then replay them. However, I do not want to diminish the logic required to balance the being. Computing power is presumably very high to achieve human-time performances.

I do not know the state of the art in how fast it can conjure up solutions that are not known to it; or does it just stop till it knows??
