Coming up with questions that would be trivial to answer for any human, but impossible for ChatGPT is quite tricky.

Which is why I came up with the "feline poetry" example. It's a quite simple concept for a human even if not particularly poetry-inclined, yet, if noone ever has written about the concept it's going to be an uphill battle for ChatGPT. And, no, I haven't tried. I also didn't mean it as some kind of dick measuring contest I simply wanted to explain what kind of thing ChatGPT really has trouble with.

Have you actually ever actually seen an iceberg or just read about them?

As a matter of fact yes, I have. North cape, Norway.

ChatGPT doesn’t learn. It’s a completely static model that doesn’t change.

ChatGPT is also its training procedure if you ask me, same as humanity is also its evolution.
