This is so stupid and pointless…
“Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”
This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…
SUVs aren’t marketed as grass mowers. LLMs are marketed as AI with all the answers.
I’d be interested in seeing marketing of ChatGPT as a competitive boardgame player. Is there any?
These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

There isn’t really a single sliding scale of “complexity” when it comes to certain tasks.
Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can’t count the number of R’s in the word “strawberry”.
Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R’s, but it couldn’t divide any two numbers.
Similarly, we didn’t complain that a typewriter couldn’t put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
In other news: My toaster makes better toast than my vacuum.
If ChatGPT were marketed as a toaster nobody would bat an eye. The reason so many are laughing is because ChatGPT is marketed as a general intelligence tool.
Do you have any OpenAI stuff (ad, interview, presentation…) That claims it’s AGI? Because I’ve never seen such thing, only people hyping it for clicks and ad revenue
I was very careful not to use the term AGI for this reason. General intelligence tool isn’t the same thing. It’s a much weaker claim, yet it’s also a far stronger claim than any purpose-built software. The ambiguity is part of their marketing strategy.
Question remains. Any marketing about it being general intelligence? Not general use, but general intelligence.
No, though there’s been plenty of marketing where they claim “we know how to build AGI.”
They have marketed ChatGPT as a general purpose AI from the very beginning, though the question of how to leverage that has remained open.
Man all these people coping, I thought chatgpt was supposed to be a generic one able to do anything?
It depends. Have you used it? If not - Yes! It does do . . . all the things.
If you have used it, I’m sorry that was incorrect. You simply need to pay for the upgraded subscription. Oh, and as a trusted insider now we can let you in on a secret - the next version of this thing is gonna be, like, wow! Boom shanka! Everyone else will be so far behind!
You know, when you put it like that, it kind of sounds like Scientology…
Attempting to badly quote someone on another post: « How can people honestly think a glorified word autocomplete function could be able to understand what is a logarithm? »
