Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling "AI" isn't even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text
A lot of work is already just generating boring text and images
Not to mention the fact that a lot of people don't function on a deeper level than that in they daily lives
Did you pay attention to human “intelligence” lately? I think we are already there.
Well yes, AI as we know it. What he's saying that there's reason to believe certain advancements can be made that would put AI in a place capable of competing with human intelligence.
AI as we know it now is not what he's referring to.
Edit: Also, logically, if we keep things centered on strict circumstances (like performing repetitive tasks) then there are absolutely people who exist that an AI could outperform. That is a simple reality of having limiting disabilities.
To create AI, you first need to find a way for them to communicate with the user.
LLMs are just that, the first step.
The rest will follow. Maybe not in 5 years, but definitely in the near future.
Reads just like crypto hype. “The killer application is right around the corner! It’s almost here, I swear!”
You can't deny the amount of crazy progress in machine learning in the past 3 years. The hype is pretty understandable, far more than crypto ever was.
And like crypto it eats GPU and electricity more than people seem to understand. It can work 24/7 though, when/if it arrives.
