They hit the wall. It can't get any better, and it's only crap.

"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.

"we have limited bandwidth here, and sometimes we focus on one thing and neglect another.”
I wonder, have they considered subscribing to Agentic AI? Mr Altman for just a small monthly fee* I can provide the force multiplier your organization is desperately yearning for.
we have limited bandwidth here, and sometimes we focus on one thing and neglect another
A company that's raised like 60 billion in VC cash can't afford to multitask...
The company that bills itself as the most “AI” focused company in the world can’t boost its own output with its agentic “AI”s.
Something something writing on the wall.
bro vibecoded version control? /s
It's kind of shocking that they think they can actually target making it BETTER when the model is just a black box they keep shoving crap into.
Didn’t they do that with the last one too?
Surprised people use ChatGPT still
It hasn’t been “the best” in at least a year
There is no best in the race to the bottom.
I think the best generative AI can do is mediocre. If you train on what humans have done you will only get as good as 50% of it's best ellements unless you literally copy the best ellement. But generating something "new" should only yield 50% since you are generating from the low quality ellements as well right?
This whole thing about LLMs being able to output something of higher quality than what it ingested is just flawed.
AI such as Deep Blue was able to outperform humans at a specific tasks because humans wrote the algorithms. And they spent a shitload of time and energy to achieve that. It wasn't "generated" by a machine. It was not vibe coded or easy to do. It was human excellence.
Generative AI is just humans being happy with good enough, contempted with mediocrity.

This isn't true of modern game-playing AI like Alpha-Go or recent Stockfish versions. These learn by playing against themselves over billions of games, and the strategies they develop aren't guided by human input. These kinds of results aren't achieved by LLM bots because there's no equivalent to "winning the game" in a chatbot conversation that can easily be rewarded automatically.
Didn't they so that with the first one?
