If it is sold as an AI, people are unimpressed. It’s really not a genius.
If it is sold as a sophisticated general purpose chat bot (like you did), it’s incredibly impressive.
Context matters.
- ramraj07 4y agoPeople collectively being unimpressed has never been and will continue to never be a yardstick. It’s good enough that no self respecting teacher would give an essay question as homework. It’s good enough to answer at least most factual questions you ask google. Turing would consider this to be an AI. Whether some jaded mediocre tech guru calls it an AI or not doesn’t matter that much in the big scheme of things.

- MrScruff 4y agoI think the reason people are impressed is it's assumed the accuracy will improve quickly over time as architectures improve and the models increase in size, just as it did in other areas of machine learning like image classification.
- frobolo 4y agoPrecisely. As Károly is so often reminding us, wait until two more papers down the line.
- TillE 4y agoYes, it's an extraordinarily impressive language processor. A true achievement. The negative reactions are in response to people treating it as some kind of magic box.
