- jampekka 3y agoMachine learning has taken huge leaps but the expectations for it are getting blown out of proportion. The use is going to increase for sure but there are many weaknesses in the technology that tend to be overlooked. E.g. autonomous driving already proved too hard a task for ML for the foreseeable future. Also "hallucination" is a problem with no clear solution in sight.
- Izkata 3y agoI've seen hints of this in the past month or so: people who were acting like true general AI happened a year ago now just talking about it as "word generators". Gemini felt like the tipping point where the flaws became obvious, which they then started noticing in the others.
