There seems to be a huge lag in news these days. I was reminded recently that GPT-4 was only released three weeks ago even fewer people have full access to the plugins that the author is describing here. Most people are still talking about an article they read in the New York Times about GPT-3.5 Turbo. Not that 3.5 Turbo didn't exhibit some reasoning abilities, but they were more difficult to suss out. GPT-4 can still seem pretty vacant sometimes and finding "magic" in it has a lot to do with building up a "state" where the model is generating reason. It does not happen by default. This will all be different in another month or two, as more people have access to the latest models and new models get released (assuming there is no agreement on a pause). Then there will be another lag as laypeople catch up. There are scenarios that may play out where this speeds up even further and whole generations of AI completely fly under the radar of public acknowledgement. Or this all collapses in a debris pile of hype. I feel like I am just along for the ride at this point, trying to keep my head above water. I reckon this is going to cause a tremendous amount of stress for a tremendous number of people.
