> isn't the point of the chaos that as time progresses the predictability of outcomes severely deteriorates?
Yes. And that's what the GP said.
Predictability deteriorates because small errors in the initial conditions grow in proportion to the total value up to the point they can more than explain the entire value.

No, that part is wrong. Chaos is not about non-determinism.
