ChatGPT was not a far away dream a year ago, everyone saw these large language models coming. every big tech company has been working on this stuff for years.
I agree they are useful for the general population now that they've been released, but they are not truly creative, they are just really really really really good parrots.

prompt: who won the 2022 stanley cup playoffs
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information, and I'm not aware of events that occurred after my knowledge cut-off date of 2021. However, you can check sports news websites or search engines to find out who won the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs.
