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

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.

    I was actually taking the time to share with you some very basic resources for you to learn something on basic stuff such as latent space, embedding, attention mechanism, markov decision ptocesses, but your attitude really made change my mind.
    
    It’s fine that you clearly don’t have the domain knowledge you claim, but your rudeness is really annoying. Enjoy your life with your achievement of complex math at degree level and learn how to speak

    I have in fact been following that stuff, thank you very much.
