Its a goal looking for a problem, aka AI hype. It’s the big thing now, like NFTs before.
I agree with your blog, the definition itself is vague, and what people want to get out of it as well. There is a big “we’ll figure it out when we get there” attitude it seems to me.
Imagine a society where everything can be and is done by AGI (and its drones) what then? What do we want out of it? What will define humans in such an environment?

- ben_jones 2y agoPeople push back on the Crypto/NFT <—> LLMs comparison but I think it’s spot on. Crypto failed because it could never be honest about its trade offs and the reasons for centralization in the first place. It couldn’t be honest about its flaws because then VCs and private equity would make less money. LLMs as an immediate panacea is failing because it can’t be honest about what actual intelligence is, where human-computer-interaction is, and its ultimate goal of culling jobs. It couldn’t be honest about its flaws because then VCs and private equity would make less money. If only there was some pattern involved here we could avoid the pitfalls of these hype cycles - the pitfalls that end up in a whole lot of people being worse off and a couple new Lake Tahoe vacation home purchases.
- prox 2y agoI think you nail it. It is all about that honesty vs the hype.
