Does the author think LLMs are Artificial General Intelligence? Because they're definitely not.
AGI is, at minimum capable of taking input and giving output from any domain that a human can, which no generative neural network is currently capable of. For one thing, generative networks are incapable of reciting facts reliably, which immediately disqualifies them.
At a quick glance I'm not seeing anywhere in the article that they think that's what this is... If you're responding to them calling it "GenAI", that's a shortening of "Generative AI", not "General AI"
Yes; I misunderstood what the author meant. Ty for letting me know.
Neither are humans, for what it's worth...
It's interesting, when you ask a LLM something that it doesn't know, it will tend to just spew out words that sound like they make sense, but are wrong.
So it's much more useful to have a human that will admit that they don't have a response for it. Or the human acts like the LLM spewing stupid stuff that sounds right and gets promoted instead.
