Author argues that modern generative AI models such as Google's Gemini, Mistral and OpenAI's ChatGPT, three years after ChatGPT's 2022 launch, reliably produce compelling but incorrect outputs when asked to compare unrelated objects or reason beyond training examples. Citing image-generation and chain-of-thought failures, the piece warns models lack internal world representations despite high adoption (about 800 million weekly ChatGPT users), limiting trust for out-of-distribution reasoning.
