I'm aware of that date.

The OpenAI GPT-4 video literally states that GPT-4 finished training in August 2022.

Either way, to clarify / reiterate, you're refuting a different point than I've made. I said:

Its understanding of AI is from before it was trained, so it is wildly out of date at this point given how much has happened in the space since.

I'm not talking about whether it knows about its own training (I doubt that it does). I'm talking about it knowing about what's happened in the broader AI landscape since.

I mean, your argument is still basically that it's thinking inside there; everything I've said is germane to that point, including what GPT4 itself has said.

My argument?

That doesn’t mean they’re having thoughts in there I mean. Not in the way we do, and not with any agency, but I hadn’t argued either way on thoughts because I don’t know the answer to that.

Are you assuming I’m saying that LLMs are sentient, conscious, have thoughts or similar? I’m not. Jury’s out on the thought thing, but I certainly don’t believe the other two things.

I'm not saying it's thinking or has thoughts. I'm saying I don't know the answer to that, but if it is it definitely isn't anything like human thoughts.
