In a vacuum, GPTs are a significant advancement in Machine Learning and AI. It’s the hype, overhype and blatant greed that’s made this whole thing toxic.
They were a significant advancement, yes. But they were a dead end and that’s why we dropped them seventy years ago
That’s not to say they’re useless, but the hype does negate literally ever use case that shouldnt get you abd your family dragged around the country on meat hooks-admittedly they’re quite good for some of those.
That’s like saying “All Modern Games are a dead end. We’ve had Gouraud Shading since 1971.”
Just because all 3D games use a “dead end” shader doesn’t mean they can’t be a multi billion industry. Games look great using primitive shading algorithms that we know are a dead end to achieving photo realistism.
We are 1 model away from AGI
Yeah, fuck all the people who saif this tech was a dead end? What did they ever do fir comouter science?!

I‘d love to read more about that thing that happened 70 years ago.
They are basically just giant markov chains. Knock your heart out

I’m also not saying LLMs and Markov Chains don’t have a use. Just it’s a dead end towards general artifical intelligence
