From what I've seen so far, including the examples here, I'm rating Ai as having about the same hype to actual value relationship as bitcoin has.
Mind you, if I got sacked from my career and replaced by something that thinks 'thirteen' has a letter 'a' in it maybe I'd be pathologically confused about my own competence as well.
From what I've seen so far, AI is not even in the same galaxy as bitcoin. Bitcoin seems pretty useless apart from another way to gamble. I use AI almost daily for writing code and I think it's a complete game changer. With it comes new challenges, but I'm now able to generate about 10x as much code in the same time as I used to, and it's no worse than my own code. It's like mowing the lawn with a mower compared to a pair of scissors.
I reckon that quote about thirteen having an "a" in it might have been from a few years or at least months ago. My post from this weekend might support that. The quality of the models is improving exponentially. Interesting article here:
www.linkedin.com/pulse/something-big-happening-matt-shumer-so5he/ (disclaimer: I haven't finished reading it yet, but the first half lines right up with my experience).
I note the point about AI models being used to write the code for AI models. If anyone is familiar with the work of Ray Kurzweil, he was saying some years ago this milestone would be coming around about now. And since that's just one in a long line of accurate predictions, I'm interested in the rest of his predictions for the next few years and decades.
Max Tegmark also makes some interesting points in Life 3.0.
