No, The reality of what these tools can do is sinking in.. The rubber is meeting the road and I can hear some screaching.
The boosters are in 5 stages of grief coming to terms with what was once AGI and is now a mere co-pilot, while the haters are coming to terms with the fact that LLMs can actually be useful in a variety of usecases.
Now, a different skill need to be honed :) Add "Be concise and succinct without removing any details" to your system prompt and hopefully it can output its text slightly better.
LLM is not AI, and never was... and while the definition has been twisted in marketing BS it does not mean either argument is 100% correct or in err.
LLM is now simply a cult, and a rather old one dating back to the 1960s Lisp machines.
Have a great day =3
Sure, it’s not AGI. But dismissing the progress as just marketing ignores the fact that we’re already seeing them handle complex workflows, multi-step reasoning, and real-time interaction better than any previous system.
This is more than just Lisp nostalgia. Something real is happening.
It feels premature to make determinations about how far this emergent technology can be pushed.
Now hold my beer, as I cast a superfluous rank to this trivial 2nd order Tensor, because it looks awesome wasting enough energy to power 5000 homes. lol =3
I couldn't agree with this more. I often get frustrated because I feel like the loudest voices in the room are so laughably extreme. One on side you have the "AGI cultists", and on the other you have the "But the hallucinations!!!" people. I've personally been pretty amazed by the state of AI (nearly all of this stuff was the domain of Star Trek just a few years ago), and I get tons of value out of many of these tools, but at the same time I hit tons of limitations and I worry about the long-term effect on society (basically, I think this "ask AI first" approach, especially among young people, will kinda turn us all into idiots, similar to the way Google Maps made it hard for most of us to remember the simple directions). I also can't help but roll my eyes when I hear all the leaders of these AI companies going on about how AI will make a "white collar bloodbath" - there is some nuggets of truth in that, but these folks are just using scare tactics to hype their oversold products.
Quantum computers and fusion energy are basically solved problems now. Accelerate!
