I think the pace of development is such that it's only a few years before humans are no longer in the chain of decision making. It was just 2017 when the infamous transformer paper came out.

A stupid person would believe this.

"AI" in its current iteration is a distillation of human knowledge. It lowers the barrier to access to long standing programming libraries that make people think it is some sort of smart. It seems intelligent because it's imitating the things we have already created.

Yeah, that's what bothers me so much. It doesn't get "smarter" or imagine novel solutions. It simply has access to everything that's already existed.

I'm scared we're ~~gonna have~~ already experiencing some kind of intellectual slump because handing everything to the machine built on existing knowledge...doesn't yield any new ideas.

I'm sure they're still banking on human brains having new ideas, and then simply feeding those new ideas to the machine, before telling the thinker their brain is irrelevant thanks to their industrialized intellect-theft complex.

The intellectual divide will be deepened significantly by "AI".

Ive never heard dumber conversations than people thinking "AI" is solving some hard problem. Here are a few examples:

It pulls text out of a pdf
It can read data out of a dwg
It can overlay data into a 3d model
It can update configuration data across lots of code

All of these could easily be done before, people were just too stupid to know how to do it without typing a stupid prompt and wasting resources to do it.

I wonder if this whole phenomenon could be explained by a Dunning-Kruger type effect. Where dumb people see "AI" as a great solution, and those on the smarter side see straight through it as a loud over juiced parrot.

LLMs are incapable of reasoning. They just guess the next token.

What is the transformer paper

Just googled it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_Is_All_You_Need
