"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm not out of touch whatsoever. I'm in the cut, and I've been here since long before LSTM's, and even perceptrons. I can almost promise you I'm deeper into this world than you'll ever be. I publish on this stuff.
No. They aren't. They've stalled and its very clear they've stalled. There have been improvements in some of the background engineering that create the illusion of model improvement, but this is fundamentally different than the improvements we saw from the earliest transformers to gpt's, from 2021-2023/4.
No, it is. And there is no clear way around it. It is an LLM issue because its a transformers issue, and it might even go deeper and be a back prop issue.
The "wine glass half full" thing, I assume, is you referring to the problem surrounding trying to image generate a specific glass of wine, or similar issues of "generate a room that definitely doesnt have an elephant in it, its devoid of any elephants, zero elephants in the room"
This is specifically a stable diffusion problem, and doesnt really apply to LLMs in the same manner.
Its not a problem specific to any model. Its present in all LLM's and possibly/ probably all transformers, and potentially even deeper. I get you don't get it, so just go take a break.
Not being able to generate something like a glass of wine is just a symptom of something far more significant.
