Why all the praise when the goal will look nothing like it looks now. They don't actually know that it's scalable, otherwise we'd be seeing a completely non-human dependent AI with limited functionality (like ordering food) first. The current approach is just getting more data to see if the real version can work at scale.
- visakanv 11y ago> Why all the praise when the goal will look nothing like it looks now Because the media machine needs to keep spinning. Rather than give a balanced statement now, which takes more effort to put together, it's easier to post "Wow, this is amazing" now and then "Wow, that was disappointing" later, and then get double the hits.
