Something I’ve found disappointing in the “AI conversation” around me …

… there hasn’t been enough honest introspection about how this whole thing feels and likely will feel.

Like, there’s something disturbing in AI’s first “success” being “art” and “music”.

There’s something disturbing about how we were never going to be able to help ourselves & are compelled to make things like LLMs, but can still be frightened by its implications.

anger v hype leaves all that out

    While LLMs might not be the path to AGI (though they might) there’s still quite the difference between gpt2 and 4. What’s gpt5 going to be like? Or 8? No one can know how good it can get even if it’s just faking intelligence. Atleast one thing is for sure; the current version of it is the worst it’ll ever be.
