Though, I don't think that means they won't get any better. It just means they don't scale by feeding in more training data. But that's why OpenAI changed their approach and added some reasoning abilities. And we're developing/researching things like multimodality etc... There's still quite some room for improvements.

I smell a sentient AI trying to throw us off it's plans for world domination..

Looks, like AI buble is slowly coming to end just like what happned to crypto and NFT buble.

I believe that the current LLM paradigm is a technological dead end. We might see a few additional applications popping up, in the near future; but they'll be only a tiny fraction of what was promised.

My bet is that they'll get superseded by models with hard-coded logic. Just enough to be able to correctly output "if X and Y are true/false, then Z is false", without fine-tuning or other band-aid solutions.

OpenAI, Google, Anthropic admit they can’t scale up their chatbots any further

Lol, no they didn't. The quotes this articles are using are talking about LLMs not chatbots. This is yet another stupid article from someone who doesn't understand the technology. There is a lot of legitimate criticism for the way this technology is being implemented but FFS get the basics right at least.
