I’m just trying to find where all this hype is I think the hype is coming from people who have no idea what is going on and just feeding on each other Much like blockchain, metaverse or whatever was dominated by know nothings who spoke confidently to people even dumber than them No professionals that have any experience or research credentials have made any crazy claims

The hype is coming from startups, big tech press releases, and grifters who have a vested interest in raising a ton of money from VCs and stakeholders, same as blockchain and metaverse. The difference is that there is a large legitimate body of research underneath deep learning that has been there for many years and remains (somewhat) healthy. I would argue that the claim of "LLMs will never be able to do this" is crazy without solid mathematical proof, and is risky even with significant empirical evidence. Unfortunately, several professionals have resorted to this language.
