I wish people would stop with the bizarre AI-latry that has gripped them en masse and realize that if its a "moment" at all, its a human moment. The impressive feat is the ability of researchers to manipulate a generic statistical model paradigm to fit large amounts data and be reused for something apparently useful. Whether that path has a future depends not on AI bootstraping itself but on said researchers to keep building on this paradigm. The black box and inscrutable nature of these algorithms works against them. I.e. reaching the next level in some purposeful manner requires more understanding. Human understanding.
