The GPT Era Is Already Ending (www.theatlantic.com)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

If this is the way to superintelligence, it remains a bizarre one. “This is back to a million monkeys typing for a million years generating the works of Shakespeare,” Emily Bender told me. But OpenAI’s technology effectively crunches those years down to seconds. A company blog boasts that an o1 model scored better than most humans on a recent coding test that allowed participants to submit 50 possible solutions to each problem—but only when o1 was allowed 10,000 submissions instead. No human could come up with that many possibilities in a reasonable length of time, which is exactly the point. To OpenAI, unlimited time and resources are an advantage that its hardware-grounded models have over biology. Not even two weeks after the launch of the o1 preview, the start-up presented plans to build data centers that would each require the power generated by approximately five large nuclear reactors, enough for almost 3 million homes.

*doesn't read the article*

This is true. I've already moved onto Gemini. GPT already feels dated by comparison.

doesn’t realise that Gemini is a GPT

Comments anyway.

I don't trust Gemini to get anything right, it's just A million SEO monkeys.

To be fair, there is currently no AI that is reliable for fact checking.

I like it because it generates faster, more detailed responses. Currently I'm using it extensively for resumes and cover letters, and for making my correspondence with potential employers sound more intelligent by having it rewrite my messages for me. It's really good at that.

It also helped me reposition my 5G mmWave antenna perfectly, literally doubling my home internet speeds. It also seems to be better at writing code, or at least better at understanding what I'm trying to get out of the code.

Kagi FastGPT is okay for fact checking. You've just gotta put "cite sources" at the end of your query and it will add in-text citations with hyperlinks. Then you can double check its answers.

Really?
Last I tried the Gemini assistant on my phone, it wouldn't even let me finish labeling my alarms before cutting me off

I feel.the opposite. O1 preview is really good and Gemini Premium (which I used 3 Months ago) feels like a GPT3 Turbo with Internet Access.. even offline Llama3 is better! (Subjective Obviously, what do I know)
