I think a lot of the hype with AI comes from the sincere shock that throwing more compute at a really simple algorithm resulted in a program that kicked the Turing test’s ass. If we can’t recognize the significance of that, then we must truly have lost our sense of wonder and curiosity.
But the hype is focusing a little too much on the LLM side of things. The real gains are going to come from models that specialize on other kinds of data, especially data that humans are bad at working with.
We kicked the Turing Test’s ass? Ask an LLM for a joke and you’ll see it fail dismally.
Yes. And Turing has started asking questions that require basic counting skills, or the ability to recognize a letter in the alphabet.
