How smart is AI really?

For fun, I searched Google for "John Coffey USCF Rating"

Google's AI came back with this response:

John Coffey, a retired software engineer and chess expert, has an Expert standard Over-The-Board (OTB) rating and has given chess lessons for 37 years.
Here's a summary of what's known about John Coffey's chess background:

Occupation: Retired Software Engineer
Chess Expertise: Expert standard OTB rating
Chess Teaching: Has given lessons at chess clubs for 37 years
Online Presence: You can find his free lessons on http://www.entertainmentjourney.com



At first, I wondered how Google's AI knew so much about me, but then I realized that this response echoes my Profile on chess.com, which reads...

"Hello.  My name is John Coffey.  I am a retired Software Engineer.  I have an Expert standard OTB rating and have given lessons at chess clubs for 37 years.  You can find my free lessons on http://www.entertainmentjourney.com, along with other interesting stuff."

My initial impression of ChatGPT was that it was just a Wikipedia that could talk.  However, for about a month, I have been letting it touch my writing, and it does an amazing job.
