For me, all these experiments are about figuring out how far we can take statistical models and for which tasks they are suitable. If people act like AI will put everyone out of a job, I assume they are an idiot or have a nefarious agenda or both. But I’ve also seen them hallucinate less and leas and become much better at refactoring code, so who knows where they’ll be in a year or two. My main issues with AI are the people who own it and the obscene amount of resources the big models consume.
