Once you’ve trained your large language model on the entire written output of humanity, where do you go? Here’s Ilya Sutskever, ex-OpenAI, admitting to Reuters that they’ve plateaued: [Reuters] The…

    Every company have always oversell their own products. This is not new.

    Coca Cola is also just a carbonated sweet drink and it’s being sold as happiness, socialization and the meaning of Christmas in a bottle.

    Companies oversell, it’s called marketing. It’s shit practice but it’s not nothing new.

    That does not make the technology worse (or better). Current AI technology has its uses. With a big problem in how resource hungry it is. But it’s fairly useful.

      Your point is valid. Companies do use marketing to sell their products by using lots of outrageous claims. And my problem isn’t really what the companies it’s mostly with the people who are buying that bullshit.

What they’re being sold as right now is just a soda and all of the current marketing around it is just nostalgia bait which everybody uses for everything especially around Christmas time.
