I think you completely missed the point. Altman is definitely engaging in 'creative' messaging, so do other GenAI CEOs. But unlike Holmes and others, they are careful to wrap it into conditionals and future tense and this vague corporate speak about how something "feels" like this and that and not that it definitely is this or that. Most of us dislike the fact that they are indeed implying this stuff as being almost AGI, just around the corner, just a few more years, just a few more hundred billion dollars wasted in datacenters. When we can see on a day-to-day basis, that their tools are just advanced text generators. Anyone who finds them 'mindblowing' clearly does not have a complex enough use case.

What is the point of llms? If their only point is complex use cases then they're useless, let's throw them away. If their point/scope/application is wider and they're doing something for a non negligible percentage of people then who are you to gauge whether they deserve to be mindblowing to someone or not regardless of their use case?
- hansmayer 2y agoWhat is the point of LLMs? It seems nobody really knows, including the people selling them. They are a solution in search of a problem. But if you figure it out in the meanwhile, make sure to let everyone know. Personally I'd be happy with just having back Google as it was between roughly 2006-2019 (RIP) in the place of the overly verbose statistical parrots.
