Is the plateu a reasonable projection for AI? Even if it is getting 100x faster at making computer chips, that make it run 1000x faster, will it have any practical applications beyond being able to spit out a glue pizza recipe faster/using less energy? Ai doesn't have the sentient capacity for invention of actually new things. Physics seems keen on denying all the real world cool sci fi concepts like relativistic travel, intertidal/gravity dampers and laser swords.
It does not understand concepts, it never will, it won't get any better than it is now, this tech has already plateaud
You can't safetyslop a true AI.Some autist will create AI God at home, not the industry.
>>107013662Perhaps, but will we ever get a true ai? Will the scope of our goals simply peter out to solving real world problems before that point?
>there is no practical difference between an AI that can copy 99.9999% of Reddit posts and one that copy 99.99999999 of Reddit postsFuck I hate AI cultists so much. AI can be useful in so much as it's database contains useful references. No LLM has ever had a novel thought, or devised a new solution to a problem other than maybe trial and error.
>>107013885So, a search engine on crack that can do 1+1=2, so to speak?
>>107013885>No LLM has ever had a novel thoughtit doesn't have thoughts, period. all they do is knead strings of text that maybe had thoughts behind them.>>1070139331+1 appears in training text a lot, so it's unsurprising that it will try to guess =2. more recently there are frontends that detect that there are numbers in the prompt and reroute the question to be translated to a scripting language, evaluated, and result translated back to human language. essentially a very inefficient way to open a calculator. it's all smoke and mirrors.
>>107013933>search engine on crack>linter on crack>quick back-of-the-envelope estimates>quick sanity checks>context-aware suggestionsit was never going to be AGI for a fundamental limitation of an LLM is their lack of world modelbut people pretending it's useless also seem to be those complaining about what it can do
>>107013585Stop using the word AI and just say what it actually is, an LLM, and yes, LLMs are a dead end.
>if you enlarge the engine your car will fly like a jetNope.
>>107013885>AI can be useful in so much as it's database contains useful references.So many people don't get this. LLMs aren't even about language, it's a data optimization function. It's just automating the process of looking at data that already exists.
