Wisdom on How OpenAI and Other LLM "AGI" Claims Are Braindead

Jabari’s Wisdom

It's so cringe how everything just became a marketing spill every time. "Oh yeah, the whole world is going to collapse when we release this one", "oh yeah, once we release this, all art will become useless", "oh yeah, once we release this, software engineers will be a dead field (please ignore the outsourcing)", "oh yeah, this thing is truly smarter than all mathematicians on Earth, just wait till we release it!!!!!". Like it’s all so tiresome. It’s a level of attention-grabbing desperation for clicks and looks and investment that I just can’t handle anymore. Like imagine if the person who made the calculator was spamming the newspapers about how this changes everything and it can calculate faster than all the mathematicians combined, so surely the world is going to collapse right when it hits store shelves AND math as a field is dead. That’s literally the equivalent. And worse, since social media algorithmic feeds will show you anything that has even a slight trend of clicks or a slight bit of promotion money, then it’s spammed in your feed 50 times a day. Like I DON'T CARE!
