In the 1980s and 1990s, the field of natural language processing (NLP) began to emerge as a distinct area of research within AI. NLP researchers focused on developing statistical models that could process and generate text based on patterns and probabilities, rather than strict rules. I think GPT-3 is as intelligent as a human.
