This kind of hype is nutso. Look I use LLMs every day all day but they are assistants. They aren’t inventors or prognosticators. They cannot predict how the market will react to a product or idea. They cannot and will never be able to construct anything new outside of their training data. They’ll always need humans in the loop to come up with new interesting things and those humans will be the ones doing most of the actual work.
The people that push this stuff are crazy on their own fumes.
It sounds so transparently full of hype I really don’t know how people take them seriously.
- djmips 2y agoI'm with you but I'm also thinking about how I didn't even see the capability we have no being as close as it was 10 years ago. In 2015 I would have guessed 2030 or beyond.
- dutchbookmaker 2y ago2015 though is word vectors King – Man + Woman = Queen. 10 years on from that I don't think what we have now is so shocking. The main problem is this waive of the hand "..and then AGI". Who knows, maybe we even find AGI is not as useful as what it seems like it would be right now. It mostly worries me the way "AGI" has taken on this mythic, modern quest for the holy grail/philosophers stone feel.
- JimmyAustin 2y ago> they are assistants. They aren’t inventors or prognosticators. They cannot predict how the market will react to a product or idea. Can you?
- yladiz 2y agoHumans can obviously invent, assist, prognosticate, and predict. Just because not every human may be able to do every one of those things doesn't invalidate the point that LLMs cannot do those things.
- cheevly 2y agoTry providing the LLM the necessary context and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The problem is that we haven't created proper 'inputs' (data pipelines) into LLMs. But that is going to change this year with agents, and an entirely new software paradigm will emerge from it.
