These people are swallowing the hype without even testing the tools.

Have you actually tested these tools? Because while they’re not flawless, I’d still say that even in their current form, they’re pretty damn good.

I love how quickly we get used to things. ChatGPT would’ve been considered straight-up magic ten years ago - and now we’re just shitting on it for the edge cases where it gets something blatantly wrong, while completely dismissing the countless times it does exactly what it’s supposed to.

It’s approaching the lower levels of human reasoning, which, as we have realized over the past few years, isn’t that impressive.

Yeah, I bet at least half of the major models would fall for disinformation and vote for fascists. The Turing test is seeing if the AI will commit hate crime using legal justification, right? Definitely by next year.
