I‘d love to join your laughter, but the media headlines and misinterpretations in fact have impact in the real world, with people in companies responsible for AI deployment and usage, believing and spreading them. Yes, the industry gets what it deserves, but regular people get confused, and they do not deserve it.
"Extreme hypers and anti-hypers are often cut from the same cloth; both love to ridiculously overextend any seed of truth for social media clout."
Unfortunately this is true for any popular culture or political stance as well. And perhaps more of a reflection of the sign of the times rather than an actual pro/con debate on the merits of AI.
One word - Indeed! Ty for the write up. Almost could pop in a PT Barnum reference for good measure. The crowd is amazed until they aren't. I believe we've reached good enough for all major AI, and it's tough for the layman to detect key differences. They will graviate to cost now that we are here.
So it is certainly possible that most of the enormous wave of investment in this technology will be lost. This is not to say it won't be widely used; only that it won't be used in a way that works for the productivity stats. Of course the hype machine will run with that. What might be the consequences and implications?
I think AI is and will keep providing a lot of value to the world. The bubble will pop and the winners will build the new world. My qualm is with the attitude. I hate that the constantly exaggerate everything they do, so I think they deserve to be paid back in kind. But the world will keep spinning anyway.
"I mean, you can log into ChatGPT and decide to focus on the edge cases it fails to solve or on the many things it can do that no other technology could do before 2022. It’s your choice; mine is to see both sides."
I think for most adult users of the technology that is coming to take their jobs, their daily experience of chatGPT of a product that breaks in nearly every response. Even as an expert who has been using NLP systems for work and understands the benefits of NLU interfaces, I still am not sure that I would agree there are many real-world, real-scale problems chatGPT and its ilk have solved without the use of human-designed structured data. What are the things chatGPT can do that no other technology could do before 2022?
I know LLMs have value, but outside academia, I don't see them as much more than another way to sell and implement software.

Yeah, it's bittersweet laughter haha.

Yes, agreed. I think it's more a sign of the times

I honestly believe it's a religion.

I'll ask you not to comment with links without explanation, thanks David!
