Where is IBM's Watson in all this? It seems as if it never existed? That is just one example of how companies keep making these grand presentations and under-delivering on results...
Plain and simple the over-hyped GPT editions are NOT truly AI, it is scripting to assemble coherent looking sentences backed by scripts that parse content off of of stored data and the open web into presented responses.... There is no "artificial" nor non-human intelligence backing the process, and if there wasn't human intervention, it wouldn't run on it's own... In a way, it could better replace search engines at this point with even text-to-speech even, if the tech was more geared towards a more basic (and less mystified) reliability and demeanor... It's kind of like the Wizard of OZ, with many humans behind the curtains.
Marketers and companies behind promotion of these infantile technology solutions are being irresponsible in proclaiming that these things represent Ai, and in going as far to claim as they will cost jobs at this point, it will prove costly to repair over zealous moves based on the lie. This is what we do as a planet, we buy Hype, and it costs us a lot. We need a lot more practicality in discussions concerning Ai, because over-assertive and under-accountable marketing is destructive. -- Just look at how much hype and chaos promises of self-driving cars cost many (Not me though thanks). It completely derails tech progress to over promise and under deliver on tech solutions. It creates monopolies that totally destroy other valid research and development efforts. It makes liars profitable, and makes many (less flashy, but actually honest tech and innovation conducted by responsible people) close up shop.
We are far from autonomous and self reliant tech, even power grids across most of the planet aren't reliable enough to support tech being everywhere and replacing jobs.
Just try to hold a conversation with Siri or Google Assistant, which have probably been developed and tested a lot more than GPT, and around for much longer too, and you'll realize why kiosks at the supermarket and CVS are usually out of order, and why articles written by GPT and posted to sites like CNN.Com and Buzz Feed are poorly written and full of filler... We're just not there yet, and there's too many shortcuts, patchwork, human intervention, and failed promises to really say we're even close.
Let's stop making the wrong people rich and popular.
- Analog24 4y agoWhat would be the differentiating factor(s) for true AI/intelligence in your opinion?
- senectus1 4y agoany sufficiently advanced technology is AI...
- winternett 4y agoPerhaps if you're a marketer anything can be defined loosely.
- rootusrootus 4y agoIntent.
- rimliu 4y agoHaving a world model
- Analog24 4y agoIf you read some of the studies of these new LLMs you'll find pretty compelling evidence that they do have a world model. They still get things wrong but they can also correctly identify relationships and real world concepts with startling accuracy.
- rimliu 4y agoNo, they don't. They fail at the arithmetics ffs.
