For General AI to work, we first need the computer to be able to communicate properly with humans, to understand them and to convey themselves in an understandable way.
LLM is just that. It is the first step towards General AI.
it is already a great tool for programmers. Which means programming anything, including new AI, will only go exponentially faster.
Yes to it being a tool. But right now all it can really do is bog standard stuff. Also have you read about that the use of Github Copilot seems to reduce the quality of code? This means we cannot yet rely on this type of technology. Again, it's a limited tool and that is it. At least for now.
Why is this the first step and not any of the other things that have been around for years?
We have logic reasoning in the form of prolog, bots that are fun to play against in computer games, computers that can win in chess and go against the best players in the world, and computer vision is starting to be useful.
