Pretending that we've not improved anything at all in the last 30 years and pretending that LLMs are just like old shitty tech from the 90s is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.
That's not what I said.
I said it's not any more AI than things in the 90's were. I didn't say we haven't improved things since then.
Neural networks and GPUs alone are huge improvements to the paradigm and design that allow for LLMs to exist.
They're still as far from real AI as the chatbots in the 90's were.
Again, they are a vast, vast improvement over those in ways that nobody in the 90's could have ever predicted. Nobody even knew what a neural network was or how to make one back then (I mean, a few researchers were working on it, to be fair, but we didn't have the hardware to do much than posture).
We're still light years away from real AI. LLMs do not bring us closer. They solve a different problem.
The thing is, they already told you it's the first L in LLM that currently mattered.
