Well it did what you asked him to do , you ordered it to write an essay about camels and their value in cybersecurity. It doesn't understand if you're joking or not or what the purpose of the whole thing.
I asked it this:
Are camels important to cyber security?
Answer:
"No, camels are not typically considered to be important for cyber security. Camels are domesticated mammals that are well-adapted to desert environments and are often used as a means of transportation or for their milk, meat, and hides. Cyber security, on the other hand, is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. The two are not related."
A human would say that’s ridiculous and tell you why. Google would give you a link to Apache Camel. ChatGPT tells you about how great a camels humps are for data storage.
That’s preposterous. An intelligent agent, human, mineral, or otherwise, would respond that this is a ridiculous idea and ideally explain the reasons that such is the case. Imagine you are a student and you asked this amazing AI sone question of similar if mildly ridiculed and turn imagine the student didn’t already know the answer. Would you think this kind of response would be an example of an intelligent AI?
If it cannot deal with such things without being prompted in such a way that the prompter knows the answer already, how could it deal with complex legal situations with actually intelligent adversaries?

Sounds pretty intelligent to me.
