> They don't have the attention span or the culture for it. Meanwhile $GENERATION is inventing general AI. Your so-called unpopular opinion is basically "old man yells at younger people", but with even less foundation.

Yeah sure. ChatGPT confabulates constantly and has no understanding of what it's saying. I think it fails the 'I' part of 'AI.' I've had it confidently invent URLs when challenged to show the sources for an obviously false claim. It invented a URL which has never existed. I mean it's impressive, but it has a long way to go to become intelligent.

  You're using ChatGPT as a strawman. You claimed the younger generation doesn't have the attention span to invent the internet. Someone else mentioned the clear and ongoing progress in machine learning, which involves many things not named ChatGPT, and has become one of the biggest economic engines of the world. You're just making an inane generalization. You will rightly be criticized for this. And you're completely missing out on the inevitable fact that those zoomers could teach you a lot of things you don't know too.

> Meanwhile $GENERATION is inventing general AI They're not inventing anything, they're just taking the concept of machine learning that has been around for ages and throwing more data and hardware at it. Underneath it all, it's still just an algorithm that finds and repeats patterns and nothing more, the patterns are just getting more complex. It's not in any way comparable to the invention of the internet in terms of innovation.

People saying AGI is right around the corner are just as wrong as people saying full self driving was right around the corner 5 years ago. Not saying current generative ai will not have a huge impact. It will.
