ChatGPT is a fancy auto-complete, that has ingested a *lot* of material. 
It is excellent at being plausible, as a good BS artist will be.

And it can't think.

It can't reliably do arithmetic. Ask for a citation and it will 
frequently make up a broken URL. Because that is what fancy 
auto-complete can do, when it can't think.
