I think there's a world of difference recognising patterns of words and giving a copied text book response and actually being intelligent.
It also understandably makes the same mistakes that are common among the average of the stuff on the internet
- or it did when I gave it a couple of interview questions I like to use to weed out the bluffers
Interesting it could eventually be convinced of its error and would remain trained for the rest of the session (unlike your average bluffer who tends to die on the hill)
Yes, in an interview with me, the engineer would be asked to give me examples of where he came across various issues related to his answer. To probe breadth and depth of a subject. That's the bit where ChatGPT is a lot less convincing in it's answers. Context, nuance, lateral thinking in problem solving, it's not there, yet.
I am convinced there's a role for AI in monitoring and optimising the performance of industrial processes. After all, most of the decisions an operator or technician makes is based on recognition of patterns or outcomes from the past. But we're still a long way off rolling it out for real.
