Well, it's a huge jump, but it's still a jump from "it generates utter illogical nonsense when it tries to simulate reason" to "it makes some correct guesses that start to resemble reasoning if we squint at it really hard."

Which is - no doubt - an astonishing achievement, but absolutely not like the "AI" hype train people try to paint it.

The "rapidly approaching" part is true in terms of the velocity, but all of this are just baby steps while walking upright properly is way beyond the horizon.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about this, of course.
