ChatCPT can fool people for a while. But in the end, it is not truly intelligent and the longer the conversation goes, the more cracks show. I've seen it spit out short stories. But I doubt it could convincingly write an extended narrative.
I think your post covers the current state of "A.I." quite well: it's not there yet. But one of the things I find most interesting is how close, even in its still quite primitive state, these systems are coming to seeming human, and so presumed - although arguably - "intelligent". Obviously I'm not the first to question whether humans are intelligent*, but it does leave one pondering just what we mean by intelligence.


* See Monty Python's Galaxy Song: "And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth"
