Not really arguing with you there. Still, what you can’t argue with is the code it wrote for me that is now in production that certainly would have taken me twice as long at least. Sure it made a couple of mistakes that I had to correct but the productivity gain was absolutely undeniable. So, sure, the appearance of cognition is an illusion, but pragmatically who cares? I’m not buying into Altman’s BS but I’m still using the model to write code, explain unfamiliar mathematics to me and basically act as a fallible but enormously helpful brain appendage.
