Given their failure on novel logic problems, generation of meaningless text, tendency to do things like delete tests and incompetence at simple mathematics, it seems very unlikely they have built any sort of world model. It’s remarkable how competent they are given the way they work.

Predict the next word is a terrible summary of what these machines do though, they certainly do more than that, but there are significant limitations.

‘Reasoning’ etc are marketing terms and we should not trust the claims made by companies who make these models.

The Turing test had too much confidence in humans it seems.
