I agree, it is a bit of an odd moment. On the one hand, you have the normal amount of hype and bullshit. The people calling out that hype are right of course, as they have been right about 1000 other vaporware demos and outright marketing lies. The groundbreaking product does not yet exist and may never exist. But on the other hand, there is something real and incredible here. It has massively pushed forward the frontier of what a computer can do. If you compare the output of these models to sci-fi like Star Trek, the fantasy was too conservative. It calls into question what it means to be human, what makes us special, and what is art. It’s the most interesting moment in art since postmodernism. So many people are rightly looking at the trend and trajectory. Incredible things have already been created. Humans have been beat at their own games. Humans performance has already been matched on a wide range of tasks. If you factor in 1 more year of progress, 5 more, 50 more, you might reach some terrifying conclusions. It’s only human.
