for a human, that's probably too much information to be useful. That's why chatGPT is so powerful. It can sort through all that cruft and find "relevant" information.

it's an incredibly complicated set of If-then statements that lead it through a decision tree; ultimately responding to a prompt using what is most commonly followed up in similar prompts on the internet.

It fails on knowing if the information is useful, or even correct, however. and it receives the biases inherited both from the people who wrote the if-then statements and the data to which it was fed. Further, the narrow AI's we have today have no agency, no creativity or intuition. It fakes all of these things in order to make us believe it's 'real'- that's what it's programed to do.
