GPT did not have hundreds of millions of users when it was invented almost a decade ago…
- handoflixue 6mo agoIf you want to move the goal posts, that's fine, acknowledge it: the original claim I'm responding to was "We're almost 6 months into all this AI-code madness" If you want to set GPT as the target, that's even easier! In that decade it has passed the Turing Test, solved novel open math problems, generates audio, video, and music, and can write coherent code. Again, there is no technology that has improved more rapidly than LLMs.
- nothinkjustai 6mo agoI’d say the internet did, since it literally connected people across the globe in real time, which actually provided the technology that allows LLMs and other similar tech to exist in the first place. I think it’s pretty clear the internet has had 10x the impact of LLMs so far. Maybe 100x
- aspenmartin 6mo agoThe internet has been around since the 80s…ChatGPT came out 4 years ago. The internet took decades to build out the infrastructure. Inflation adjusted capex for AI infrastructure already far surpasses that of the internet. You’re talking about a technology that doesn’t just make things easier it replaces entire swaths of work. Under some weird measurement you may be right but I mean cmon.
- nothinkjustai 6mo agoYou are actually nuts
- handoflixue 6mo agoIt's wild how unfamiliar you are with the history of the internet - ARPANET was like 1969. Even if we go with AOL in 1985, "decades" to build out the infrastructure is still a very reasonable declaration.
- aspenmartin 6mo agoIf you don’t have anything to refute you don’t have to reply with an insult, it’s not a great look. Feels like you’ve run out of meaningful things to say? Maybe you disagree with something substantive? We’ll never know!
