A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

They are clearly targeting very broad audiences instead of any specific processes or operations any one company may do. It’s part of their view that they are working on general intelligence. Not specific intelligence.
I agree that it may be a less productive approach. Especially since pure scaling did hit a wall. Even if everyone and their sycophantic singularity cheerleaders say otherwise.
It would have still had the flaws and issues inherit with the process, but imagine current level LLMs that were trained on data that was curated and responsibly collected. It would also have helped to have the training emphasis on being accurate and search for verification and clarify, rather than be pleasing and agreeable to a fault. In the end it's not AGI and can't be alone, but the methods chosen was the direction that would be profitable and that's where and why we are here now.
That's why I believe OpenAI will eventually go down the shitter, because they don't have a good usecase. Instead, they're trying to do a "one fits all" approach and burn a ton of money in the process.
Companies like Claude Code might be here to stay, because they're running (and improving) their own models and they focus on a single usecase. Claude is already much better than ChatGPT when it comes to generating useful code.
But we'll see what happens when the bubble inevitably bursts, because they all seem to be hitting a ceiling already and the improvements within each iteration get more and more marginal.
The "undifferentiated service for all the world" business seems to eventually pivot to advertising. Facebook, Google, etc.
So eventually ChatGPT won't shut up about the new Ford Maverick.
