NAIs are supposed to be capable of sentient behavior and learning. I don't think ChatGPT does either. It recognizes certain patterns and emulates them but doesn't understand at all whether it's done something the right way or the wrong way.

NAI-5s were also supposed to be available in 2022 and cost $500. Even the most usable interactive programs (probably things like Siri and Alexa) no doubt cost millions and run on server farms.

I'd say we're orders of magnitude away from anything like the AI in Transhuman Space.
