> Yet, a gap persists between humans and these algorithms: in spite of considerable training data, current language models are challenged by long story generation, summarization and coherent dialogue and information retrieval13,14,15,16,17; they fail to capture several syntactic constructs and semantics properties18,19,20,21,22 and their linguistic understanding is superficial19,21,22,23,24. For instance, they tend to incorrectly assign the verb to the subject in nested phrases like ‘the keys that the man holds ARE here’20. Similarly, when text generation is optimized on next-word prediction only, deep language models generate bland, incoherent sequences or get stuck in repetitive loops13.

The paper is from 2023 but their info is totally out of date. ChatGPT doesn't suffer from those inconsistencies as much as previous models.
