I don't disagree that "is it useful" is the important question.
The amount of money being invested is very clearly disproportionate to the current utility, and much of it is obviously based on the premise that LLMs can (or will soon) be able to think.
- edanm 2y ago> The amount of money being invested is very clearly disproportionate to the current utility, I don't think this is so clear. At least, if by "current utility" you also include potential future utility even without any advance in the underlying models. Most of the money invested in the 2000 bubble was lost, but that didn't mean the utility of the internet was overblown.
- lukev 2y agoWell, I find myself forced to agree with you there. I think these models are tremendously useful for data processing, and that chasing "reasoning" and the production of artifacts for human consumption are entirely red herrings.
