These debates about how well GPT can think seem merely philosophical.
This is a perfect case of perfection being the enemy of the good.
Useful AI is here. Hard stop.
The impacts will be huge and unpredictable.
Billions will be made.
The world will change.
Humans will continue making rapid progress, via merging various AI methods and new breakthroughs.
Nevertheless, I enjoy reading the debate.
But anyone wringing their hands over how much is GPT thinking is missing the point.
These are companies making products.
This is not academic research.
It's just another tool in a long list of tools made by humans.
And it's already a productive tool.
This reminds me of the skepticism surrounding electric cars while Tesla was already growing by leaps and bounds.
The ship has sailed. The revolution has started. Progress will undoubtedly be rapid and continual.

You seem to be missing the point. > These debates about how well GPT can think seem merely philosophical. Merely? Yeah, you're missing the point. You want a debate or you think the debate is meaningless? You don't get to appreciate it and call it pointless and sound reasonable at the same time. > The ship has sailed. The revolution has started. Progress will undoubtedly be rapid and continual. It started 2 million years ago when humans started roaming the planet. We're clearly a runway process. We don't need a chat bot to prove it.
