GPT-4 and professional benchmarks: the wrong answer to the wrong question

Memorization is absolutely the most valuable part of GPT, for me. I can get natural language responses to documentation, basic scripting / sysadmin, and API questions much more easily than searching other ways.

While this is an academic interest point, and rightly tamps down on hype around replacing humans, it doesn't dissuade what I think are most peoples' basic use case: "I don't know or don't remember how to do X, can you show me?"

This is finally a good enough "knowledge reference engine" that I can see being useful to those very people it is over hyped to replace.

Good luck getting ChatGPT to explain a cron expression like "0 30 5 * * 3". I mean, it will explain, but mixing up everything. How many other mistakes it might make?
