Imo our current version of ai are too generalized, we add so much information into the ai to make them good at everything it all mixes together into a single grey halucinating slop that the ai ends up being good at nothing.

We need to find ways to specialize ai and give said ai a more consistent and concrete personality to move forward.

Meanwhile a huge chunk of the software industry is now heavily using this "dead end" technology 👀

I work in a pretty massive tech company (think, the type that frequently acquires other smaller ones and absorbs them)

Everyone I know here is using it. A lot.

However my company also has tonnes of dedicated sessions and paid time to instruct it's employees on how to use it well, and to get good value out of it, abd the pitfalls it can have

So yeah turns out if you teach your employees how to use a tool, they start using it.

I'd say LLMs have made me about 3x as efficient or so at my job.

I think the human in the loop currently needs to know what the LLM produced or checked, but they'll get better.

Take a car that's stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You'll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.

Its not a dead end if you replace all big name search engines with this. Then slowly replace real results with your own. Then it accomplishes something.

Worst case scenario, I don't think money spent on supercomputers is the worst way to spend money. That in itself has brought chip design and development forward. Not to mention ai is already invaluable with a lot of science research. Invaluable!
