Calling this "The complete history of AI" seems wrong. LLM's are not all AI there is, and it has existed for way longer than people realize.

- nubg 8mo agoMost of "AI" before ChatGPT was just researchers wasting public grant money, eg BLOOM.
- gordonhart 8mo agoEasy to forget but there was a ton of industry+investor excitement around computer vision from ~2015-2021, to the extent that the "MLops" niche sprung up around it. This was called AI at the time, and mostly went out the window when general-pupose pretrained models arrived.
- stuxnet79 8mo agoI would place the beginning of the computer vision hype at 2012 or so when the AlexNet paper came out. Also an aside, it is mind boggling to me how pre-2021 ML is now ancient history.
- bigstrat2003 8mo agoAnd now it's private companies wasting investor money. Not sure there's much difference between the two.
- _verandaguy 8mo agoThis is ignoring ML which has existed for decades. Neural networks, computer vision, sentiment analysis, all of these and more have provided an unspeakable amount of value over the years.
- ai_bot 8mo agoFair point — updated the tagline to 'The complete history of LLMs'. AI as a field goes back decades; this is specifically tracking the transformer/LLM era from 2017 onward
