ChatGPT is a language model, optimised for finding a suitable output text for a given input text. It is trained on natural language understanding an processing - its input is characters, but words, grammar, and basic logic / facts are emergent properties.

It can memorise times tables and solve basic maths problems, but it can't devise an approach to solve larger problems (it can't even add and subtract larger numbers in combinations it hasn't seen before, even if they would be trivial for humans).

None of that makes it very good for tasks like controlling a drone (which would be heavily about image processing) compared to a human.

Other 2010-era developments in AI, such as in the image classification space, for example, would help a lot more for that application.
