Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit.

I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

Yes, it's inefficient... and OpenAI and Google are losing exactly because of that.

There's open source models already out there that are rivaling ChatGPT and that you can train on your 10 year-old laptop in a day.

And this is just the beggining.

Also... maybe we should check how many words of exposure a kid gets throughout their life to get to the point to develop arguments such as ChatGPT's... because the thing is that... ChatGPT does know way more about many things than any human being will ever do. Like, easily thousands of times more.

Absolutely agreed, so long as protections are put in place to defang it as a weapon against labor (if few have leisure time or income to support tech development, I see great danger of stagnation). LLMs do clearly seem an important part in advancing towards real AI.
