Comment on ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day

Ah, yes.

Remind me again how that “revolution of human mobility”, the Segway, is doing now…

Or how wanderful every single one the announcements of breakthroughs in Fusion generation have turned out to be…

Or how the safest Operating System ever, Windows 7, turned out in terms of security…

Or how Bitcoin has revolutionized how people pay each other for stuff…

Some of us have seen all lots of hype trains go by over the years, always with the same format, and recognize the salesspeak from greedy fuckers designed to excite ignorant naive fanboys of such bullshit chu-chu-trains when they come to the station.

Looking at your choice of words in your post you’re very invested in it, either emotionally (as a fanboy) or monetarily (greedy fucker hoping to make money from the hype) since rational people who are not using salesspeak will not refer to anything brand new as “the most incredible creation of humanity” (it’s way too early to tell) much less deem any and all criticism of it as “shitting on it”.

"Completely unrelated thing X didn't live up to its hype, therefore thing Y must also suck" is not particularly sound logic for shitting on something.

  Funny how from all the elements were it ressonates with historical events: “people promoting it”, “bleeding edge tech”, “style of messaging”, “extraordinary claims without extraordinary proof” and more, your ended up making the kind of simplistic conclusion that a young child might make.

    extraordinary claims without extraordinary proof
    
    What are you looking for here? Do you want it to be self aware and anything less than that is hot garbage? That latest advances in AI have many uses. Sure Bitcoin was over hyped and so is AI, but Bitcoin was always a solution with no problem. AI (as in AGI) offers literally a solution to all problems (or maybe the end of humans but hopefully not hah). The current tech though is widely useful. With GPT4 and GitHub Copilot, I can write good working code at multiple times my normal speed. It’s not going to replace me as an engineer yet, but it can enhance my productivity by a huge amount. I’ve heard similar from many others in different jobs.

AI, even at the current state is one of the most incredible creation of humanity.

If there was a nobel prize for math and computer science, the all field would deserve one next year. It would probably go to a number of different people who contributed to the current methodologies.

You cannot compare nft to AI. You can open nature or science (the scientific publications) now and you’d see how big is the impact of AI.

You can start your research here www.deepmind.com/research/…/alphafold . Another nobel prize material

  I actually have some domain expertise so excuse me if I don’t just eat up that overexcited ignorant fanboy pap and phamplet from one of the very companies trying to profit for such things.
  
  GAI (General Artificial Intelligence, i.e. a “thinking machine”) would indeed be that “incredible creation of humanity”, but that’s not this shit. This shit is a pattern matching and pattern reassembly engine - a technologically evolve parrot capable of producing outputs that mimic what was present in its training sets to such a level that they even parrot associations that were present in their training sets (i.e. certain questions get certain answers, only the LLM doesn’t even understand them as “questions” and “answers” just as textual combinations).
  
  Insuficiently intelligent people with no training in hard sciences often actually confuse such perfect parroting of that which intelligent beings previously produces with actually having intelligence, which is half part hilarious and half part sad.

    If you have domain expertise you would agree with us that, despite not being AGI, as it is now, deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative AI are an incredible creation of humanity, that, among other things, are capable already of:
    
    solving long standing scientific challenges such as protein folding,
    
    able to take independent decision and develop strategies that, on specific tasks, surpass human experts
    
    Able to map human languages and art in high dimensional vector spaces where concepts and relationships are retained as properties of the spaces, allowing to perform math and statistical inference on things that few decades ago not many people would have guessed a mathematical representation was even possible.
    
    On top of this we already give for granted all the current already existing application, such as image recognition, translation…
    
    You would also agree with us that the potential of current AI methodologies in all field of science and technology is already enormous, as demonstrated by alphafold for instance. We just need few more years to see even more groundbreaking applications.

    What it’s doing is just a natural extension of what was done with basic Neural Networks back in the 90s when it started being used for recognition of human-written postal code numbers on mail envelopes.
    
    This is why I disagree that this specific moment in the development of AI is “an incredible creation of humanity”.
    
    As for the rest, I actually studied Physics at a Degree level and with it complex Mathematics and your point #3 is absolute total bollocks.
