No shit. This was obvious from day one. This was never AGI, and was never going to be AGI.
Institutional investors saw an opportunity to make a shit ton of money and pumped it up as if it was world changing. They'll dump it like they always do, it will crash, and they'll make billions in the process with absolutely no negative repercussions.
Turns out AI isn't real and has no fidelity.
Machine learning could be the basis of AI but is anyone even working on that when all the money is in LLMs?
I'm not an expert, but the whole basis of LLM not actually understanding words, just the likelihood of what word comes next basically seems like it's not going to help progress it to the next level... Like to be an artificial general intelligence shouldn't it know what words are?
I feel like this path is taking a brick and trying to fit it into a keyhole...
Right, so AIs don’t really know what words are. All they see are tokens. The tokens could be words and letters, but they could also be image/video features, audio waveforms, or anything else.
