I used to look down on ChatGPT and other LLMs because they're crazy expensive to train and need special tuning like SFT/RLHF. I thought their "intelligence" was limited and economically impractical — good for assisting but not replacing humans. At best, they might take over some customer service, translator or teaching jobs.
But now, with R1 out there, I'm getting a little nervous, kinda like when Go players saw AlphaGo. Sure, AlphaGo didn't replace humans, but Go is a game, not work.
Companies won't hire AI to play games, but they'll absolutely use bots to code software and build cars.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoClearly AI at it's current state can't replace humans. Everyone on the face of the earth knows this. What people are generally hyped about is the trendline into the future. Look at the progress of all of AI up till now. LLMs are a precursor to an AGI that exists in the future.
- suraci 2y agoI'm not saying how advanced R1 is—in fact, it doesn't outperform O1 by much. What really surprised me is how it was built with pure RL without SFT, which I thought was impossible before. And it makes me wonder if human thoughts are synthesizable I hope this is just a misunderstanding stemming from my incomplete knowledge
