I used to say that the dumbest conversation about AI was about whether it was “actually intelligent”, but I was wrong: It’s the conversation about whether it’s “overhyped”. Like, I don’t care how much Sam Altman hyped up GPT-5, or how many dumb people fell for it. I figured it was most likely GPT-5 would be a good improvement over GPT-4, but not a huge improvement, because, idk, that’s mostly how these things go? The product and price are fine, the hype is annoying but you can just ignore that. If you feel it’s hard to ignore it, then stop going on LinkedIn. All I want to know is which of these things are useful, what they’re useful for, and what’s the best way to use them in terms of price/performance/privacy tradeoffs.
