If you’ve tried to build chatbots before, you’ll quickly understand how impressive LLMs are.
We essentially solved the problem of a chatbot sounding human and having reasonably intelligent things to say by throwing insane amounts of hardware at it. This wasn’t possible before now really.
The algorithms are impressive, but still naive compared to what people believe AI really should be.
This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.
This is just the best chatbot from the 90’s we’ve made so far.
This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.
Pretending that we’ve not improved anything at all in the last 30 years and pretending that LLMs are just like old shitty tech from the 90s is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.
I said it’s not any more AI than things in the 90’s were. I didn’t say we haven’t improved things since then.
Neural networks and GPUs alone are huge improvements to the paradigm and design that allow for LLMs to exist.
They’re still as far from real AI as the chatbots in the 90’s were.
Again, they are a vast, vast improvement over those in ways that nobody in the 90’s could have ever predicted. Nobody even knew what a neural network was or how to make one back then (I mean, a few researchers were working on it, to be fair, but we didn’t have the hardware to do much than posture).
We’re still light years away from real AI. LLMs do not bring us closer. They solve a different problem.
