Sorry... but that’s your reason for being underwhelmed?

You’re only scratching the surface. It’s trained on billions of documents, how many times was it trained with the “Nero Wolfe” stories?

It passes medical exams, it’s passed the Bar exam. It can be trained on your own context specific documents. You can provide function callbacks for local execution of code - call databases, control devices, etc...all using natural language.

I’ve been designing and writing software for over 30 years and this is the biggest advancement I’ve even seen.

AI is still a lot of hype. It cannot do anything more than repeat what humans have PROGRAMMED and fed into it.

BTW, I too was (no longer in the field) in software design and programming at various levels. Did that for about 40 years, and for a lot of that time, I heard about how computer would be taking over and humans would have nothing to do but 'reap the benefits'. AI is just the newest iteration of that hype and promises. AI is just 'programming' against a much larger dataset, but, it's still dumb and nowhere close to emulating human intelligence, and not even a monkey's intelligence. BTW, intelligence does is not the same as data or information.

it’s passed the Bar exam

The multistate, as assessed not by official examiners but by a company (and friends) with an incentive to promote its software called Co-Counsel.

That was just one example. The problem wasn't that it hadn't read enough Nero Wolfe stories. The problem was that it didn't "understand" that you can't be named after somebody with an entirely different name.

It also was also unable to answer simple questions about Arizona fire codes, and DALL-E could not render a picture of a teenage pizza cook wearing a snap front (or cabbie, or newsboy) style hat, but generally insisted on giving him a baseball cam, even when told NOT to use a baseball cap.

It is a big advancement, and it will bet better, but it is very uneven and being a bit oversold presently.
