Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now.
logi@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoHow about this, this is a real easy one. What type of function is this:
There is a theorem that “all smooth functions are locally linear”. In other words, most “normal” functions are indistinguishable from a straight line on the graph if you zoom in far enough.
So that’s not just no than easy one, it is an impossible one.

And yet you want me to believe that because “exponential functions can have a slow build up” its is definitely exponental.

I do not.

Then what are we arguing about?

What exponential growth fundamentally is.

They’re not saying that slow growth is definitely evidence it’s exponential. They’re saying that slow growth doesn’t prove that it isn’t exponential, which seemed to be what you were saying.
It’s always hard to identify exponential growth in its early stages.

Do you accept that if we put together a metric to measure the advancement of AI that it would indicate it would grow over time?
