These things are not general purpose AI tools. The are Large Language tools. There are dudes on YouTube who get millions of views doing basic reinforcement learning to train weird shapes to navigate obstacle course, win races, learn to walk, etc. But they do this by making a custom model with inputs and outputs that are directly mapped into the “physical world” which these creatures live. Until these LLM’s have input and output parameters that specifically wire into “front distance sensor or leg pressure sensor” and “leg muscles or engine speed” they are never going to be truly good at tasks requiring such interaction. Any such attempt that lacks such inputs and outputs and somehow manages to have passable results will be in spite of the model not because of it. They’ll always get their ass kicked by specialized models trained for such tasks on every dimension including efficiency, power, memory use, compute and size. And that is the thing, despite their incredible capabilities, LLM’s are not AGI and they are not general purpose models either! And they never will be. And that is just fine.
