Zach WeinersmithMaybe I'm just crazy, but I feel like there is not enough freaking out going on vis-a-vis recent AI developments. It seems to me science, the arts, transportation, engineering... everything is going to be changed, if not in 10 years certainly in 30. It feels to me like there's a lot of denial going on, of the form "well, it can't do [this one thing]" but that was said about chess programs in the 90s. They're now absolutely unbeatable.
Lizard@ZachWeinersmith Wake me when it can start writing something, which makes it think of something else, which reminds it of this other thing, and it starts creating 7 or 8 things as its progress on one led to an explosion of new ideas.
I’m very unimpressed with what I’ve seen. It’s formulaic, stilted, and obvious.
I also see no evidence of any ability to apply what it “knows” to draw conclusions about new data. /1
