Someone recently got in the news for getting Bing's ChatGPT-based chat robot to recite its instructions. I just want to get off my chest my thoughts that the fact that a $2 trillion company is programming a robot using plain English is the most scifi thing ever. It seems straight out of Asimov. If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have said it's completely unrealistic. That's not how computers work, I would have said. They follow rigorous logical mathematical operations and machine instructions based on boolean logic. You can't just tell it what you want it to do in English and then put it in front of the public, and if you could the public couldn't get it to do something different just by asking in plain English. I'm sure the feeling will wear off, but as someone who uses it daily, I still sometimes get the feeling that AI is like science fiction.
