It does feel a bit like the early days of AI:
"We want to make computers do what smart people do. What do smart people do? They play chess! Once we've solved that, everything else will be easier."
It has been remarkable how much of the "easier" stuff they've made progress on -- like natural language and images. But after a huge quantum improvement, it doesn't seem very good at adapting to a lot of the things we really need them for.
- renjimen 2y agoExactly! Whatever world model LLMs have is like this crippled view through the lens of the internet. They are really like savants. It's annoying the AI companies are still touting their performance on all these metrics for domain knowledge in white collar jobs, but in truth they will fail in all but the most narrow application in those domains because they can't understand basic human behaviour.
