Yeah. There’s a very narrow corner that demands huge models, and that’s use cases where there’s no room for mistakes. That space is exciting, but also deeply bogged down in uncertainty, due both to laws and as-yet-undelivered, but 100% certainly coming-soon, law-creating-disasters.
Everywhere else, I suspect we’ve seen as good as we’re going to get, from current generation AI.
Tech firm CEOs know this too, but there’s not much interesting on the table to “bet the farm” on to court “swing for the fences” investors (gullible suckers) right now.
“close to meaningless” sums up my expert opinion on the whole current AI hype machine sales pitch.
Highly tuned models for incredibly specific, not-dangerous use cases is the next pragmatic step. There’s a lot to excited about, in that very narrow band.
Anyone selling more than that is part of a con, or in very rare cases, doing genuine “fuck off and ask me again in a decade” kinds of research.
