exactly , I see many people , even machine learning specialist dismissing the possibility of chatGPT having intelligence of learning, even though a common half hour session with it can prove it does by any common sense definition.

The fact we don't know yet (and it's an active area of study) how a model trained with tons of data in a slow process can then quickly learn new stuff in a short session or know things it was never trained to, didn't mean it doesn't do it.
