Nvidia’s ‘Nemotron-4 340B’ model redefines synthetic data generation, rivals GPT-4

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.
Redefines synthetic data generation? From "making fake data" to what? (I get it, it's hyperbole.)
Training on synthetic data is the most garbage-sounding thing I've ever heard. Isn't Reddit and Wattpad fake enough? At least those posts were generated by actual humans.
I guess I'll wait and see, but I'm really skeptical that this will be a good thing.
Its a promising idea. Limitless training data in any domain you want. Whether or not it actually pans out is a whole different story.
