I’m not a particularly religious person but I’m running to Jesus if the future of the world includes worshipping LLMs, tyvm. This is absolutely absurd. The model has been trained on thousands of lines of ai short stories. No wonder it parrots back its “consciousness”. We are just staring at a reflection of our own creative writing.

likely true now, but can you be certain in 3 to 10 years? how much does language make up the fabric of what we are? How we work, how we understand the world, etc? Now imagine giving language models vision and audio and a body... and the ability to actually retain new knowledge (the core thing I think modern ai models lack).

  This is what the ai researchers in the 50s were saying after releasing Eliza…

    Yeah, and i'm sure they had ai in a 3 year span that could create text that could pass touring, as well as audio voice/music and video and photo generators that all could compete with human artists... oh wait...no, maybe this is a bit different than that time. I mean, even self-driving cars, i get the hype - we were supposed to have those by 2017, no? Still this 'feels' different, i can now ask my question of gemini and get follow up answers and it'll google anything that needs google'd, and create reports, etc... and provide data sources that I can verify, etc. AI news hype isn't just coming from one or two different companies, or sectors -- it's proliferating every major company, every major news outlet, maybe researchers were saying stuff like that because they were wowed by the tech of the times, but it wasn't a 'mainstream' collective 'wow' heard around the world. The current AI trend, has no seeming 'winter' looming, we're only at the 'cusp' of what we can do with these things. Even without full AGI we could probably have a fully automated workforce in 5 years using hacks, and current technology with a bunch of mixture-of-experts type models and scenarios where we have expert ai's deliver results they can be more certain are correct because its their speciality.
