I suspect that there is something else going on than intelligence which will become obvious over the next few years.
There was a horse, "Clever Hans" who appeared to have the ability to answer surprisingly complicated mathematical questions. Did "Clever Hans" have mathematical intelligence. Not at all. He was responding to a cue unknowingly being given by his trainer.
I suspect the same thing is happening with ChatGPT. What if all that is happening is that the text is being formulated to very complicated cues that are implicit in the very complicated, statistical analysis?
