The current media darling GPT is kind of primitive AI but it has no mind of its own. It's flash and glitter but very misleading. Note that it does nothing by itself but requires a human to get it started by giving it some goals. It's just a machine really.

" Large language models may find a niche, but they are not the foundation for generally intelligent systems. Their novelty will wear off as people try to build real scalable systems with them and find it very difficult to deliver on the hype." - Rodney Brooks (emeritus head of AI at MIT)
