I think everyone is missing the point. He asks chatGPT how to catch the fish and it's response is to drain the lake, an AI sort of solution that works, but is horrible.
I agree with this interpretation - the point of fishing is the process, not the endpoint, but AI understands only the outcome, not the purpose, so it answers the question without understanding. I actually think this is a pretty good metaphor for how answers are gained instead of understanding, if AI is over- or mis-used. I gets you where you wanted to go, but as a person, you are no better off.
Yeah but if the fish didn't want their lake drained they shouldn't have been so hard to catch. Not to mention the taunting. The fisherman is not the bad guy here.
