In 1942, atom bombs didn't work at all. Does that mean nobody on the Manahattan Project cared? In my mind, when I hear that nobody on earth has achieved something, but a massive bubble of people are feverishly working on it, my conclusion is that a lot of people care a lot. I assume by how your post was phrased, you're using the term AI to mean LLM. You noticed that 100% of LLMs, every last one of them, in research labs and commercial businesses, hallucinate and give wrong answers when prompted for something very different from their training data. Thousands are this way. None at all exist that are the other way. A very peculiar property of an entire technology. But your conclusion wasn't that it's inherent property of LLMs (a statistics machine), or that we need to move beyond LLMs to achieve AGI. It wasn't that LLMs have a lot of powerful uses when kept inside the narrow scope of their training. Your conclusion was that, across the entire earth, without exception, "investors/founders/PMs don’t really care". I'm sorry, I am not following — perhaps if you elaborate more on each logical steps you took to get to that conclusion, we can shed more light on what you're missing.
