The technological struggles are in some ways beside the point. The financial bet on artificial general intelligence is so big that failure could cause a depression.
Lemmy is one of the few places I go that has the knowledge base to have a nuanced opinion of AI, there’s plenty of programmers here using it after all.
The topic du jour is not whether the recall of myriad data is impressive, it’s that LLMs are not fundamentally capable of doing the thing that has been claimed at bottom. There does not seem to be a path to having logical capabilities come on board, it’s a fundamental shortcoming.

Happy to be proven wrong though.
