Comment on Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated

  No. It’s not and hasn’t been for at least a year. Maybe the ai your dealing with is, but it’s shown understanding of concepts in ways that make no sense for how it was created. Gotta go.

    No it hasn’t.

      It does a shockingly good analogue of “understanding” at the very least. Have you tried asking chatgpt to solve analogies? Those show up in all kinds of intelligence tests.

      We don’t have agi, definitely, but this stuff has come a very long way and it’s quite close to being genuinely useful.

      Even if we completely reject the “it’s ai,” we more or less have a natural language interface for computers that isn’t a shallow trick and that’s awesome.

        This two statements are causal to each other. And it actually gets them wrong with some frequency in ways that humans wouldn’t, forgets stuff it has already “learned”, or changes to opposite stances midways. Because it is just an excel sheet on steroids.

        It is, in my opinion, a shallow trick indeed.

        Well here’s the question. Is it solving them, or just regurgitating the answer? If it solves them it should be able to accurately solve completely novel analogies.

      yes, it’s has. the most famous example is the stacking of the laptop and the markers. you may not have access but it’s about to eclipse us imho.

    Maybe if you Interpret it’s output as such.

    Depends on how you define understanding and how you test for it.

    I assume we are talking LLM here?

    It’s a tool. And like any tool it’s only as good as the person using it. I don’t think these people are very good at using it.
