Oh, believe me, I don't. At all. I've been working in the software engineering sector since the mid 90's; I'm quite aware of the rapid pace of change in this sector. I was briefly considering a focus on AI when getting my degree, back in the early 90's.
But this specifically mentions LLMs, and the fundamental way LLMs function is not going to lead to self-aware AI, or any sort of system that is going to be able to self-evaluate for accuracy or "truthiness." It's going to take an advance in neural net science; maybe in combination with LLM - but LLMs by themselves will only ever be dumb machines that generate predictive text based on - I don't know, Bayesian probabilities, or whatever.
ha, i never meant full-on GAI, singularity. i just meant a visual model good enough to classify what it sees in a very specific context. i never mentioned or meant to refer to 'ai'
