Still less impressive in a lot of ways than Englebart's mother of all demos.

Still less impressive in a lot of ways than Englebart's mother of all demos.
- Nevermark 2y agoI expect Englebert would have been astounded by real time text generation, faster than he could read, of a first pass draft of a Supreme Court brief involving a James Bond incident uncovering a pharmaceutical plot to undermine the biosphere via a constitutional loophole written in Dr. Seuss prose, with the humor of Monty Python. Or that he could get successive improvements in the form of real time collaboration with the model. It is true that a tool that isn’t as reliable as an expert won’t impress an expert. Even if it’s better/faster on 99% of varied tasks for any given human, for fast response output. “It still isn’t great”, by an experts standards. But as humans, each of our task/field span of expertise or informed amateur fluency is terrifyingly limited compared to the broad awareness of fields and subjects that these models incorporate. And they are crazy impressive in terms of how much better they have become, qualitatively and quantitatively, inexpensive (to deploy/use) and available, in a few years.
