If you wrote this about aeroplanes in the mid-1960s, despite the previous 40-50 years of rapid improvement, you'd be wrong.
The same would be true for bicycles, and automobiles - despite decades of incremental and noteworthy-for-specific-context improvements, there's been no fundamental changes in these (and many other technologies) that reflects the early progress. Yes, modern cars are safer, more comfortable, more fuel efficient (sometimes), but they get nothing done that wasn't possible with a car from the mid-1950s.
Why would you assume that the recent past of LLMs provides an outline of what the future of AI in general (not just LLMs) is going to be?
- dwaltrip 2y agoThe question is, are current LLMs more like wooden biplanes or early passenger jets? It feels like we are closet to the wooden biplane era, imo.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoOr are they more like a video of flying that we're watching and saying with glee "we're flying!" ?
