Artificial Intelligence Developments (ChatGPT etc)

[Santino]

A reminder that computing evangelists have been predicting the dawn of real AI as a few months away for about 50 years now.

Re wishful thinking, there is a lot of that. There are voices within academia that have been saying from the start that the various problems of hallucination, etc, can't be fixed. Unsurprisingly with the amount of money invested in this stuff, they're ignored in favour of the person who is upbeat. 'Can Do' attitude and all that.

Got to have a growth mindset!

I don’t remember the proclamations in 1974.

But tbf I had more prosaic concerns at the time.

Is the FT pay walled? I can see it and don't have a subscription?

Oh. Now I can't. That's weird.

It lets you see one article free. Not a very effective paywall, though.

The AI is powered by oil to find more oil!!!

An autonomous AI deciding where to drill/store carbon? What can possibly go wrong?

No, but I love LLMs so I'll give it a try.

Been using some of the new voice ones as a revision aid when driving. Gemini is pretty good at more natural conversation, but really lacks the awareness of earlier conversation which makes ChatGPT. It's what most of the normal LLMs seem to lack as well.

I tried the voice ChatGPT and it's as good as Gemini in terms of conversation, but you only get ten mins free a month on the good one and the free one is awful.

Probably optimistic to think the presence or absence of AI in the blurb will indicate quality of product. As opposed to presence of MBAtards.
