AI is overhyped but it's obvious that some time later in the future, AI will be able to match human intelligence. Some guy in 1600s probably said the same about the first steam powered vehicle that it will still be snake oil in 100 years. But little did he know that he is off by about 250 years.
That's my point though the first steam-powered vehicles were obviously promising. But all large language models can do it parrot back at you what they already know which they got from humanity.
I thought AI was supposed to be super intelligent and was going to invent teleporters, and make us all immortal and stuff. Humans don't know how to do those things so how can a parrot work it out?
Of course the earlier models of anything are bad. Although the entire concept and practicals will eventually be improved upon as other foundational and prerequisite technologies are met and enhances the entire project. And of course, all progress doesn't happen overnight.
I'm not fanboying AI but I'm not sure why the dismissive tone as if we live in a magical world where technology should have now let us travel through space and time (I mean, I wish we could). The first working AI is already here. It's still AI even if it's in its infancy.
I want my functional, safe, and nearly free jetpack.
