Perhaps you're right that these are tools that can enhance thinking, Thorsteinn... or elsewise the scope of this system design is still capped by its fundamental dependencies. My Masters degree in 'Advanced Computer Science with a Specialisation in Artificial Intelligence' (easily the worst degree title I've encountered...) left me with a near-permanent scepticism. I graduated in 1995. It is now nearly thirty years later. We are still using approximately the same techniques, only the processing power and scope of the data sources has changed. I do not see what grounds for assuming acceleration there could be that don't emerge from the marketing suite.
Apropos of the general enthusiasm for AI, I'd like to share this piece from June this year:
Alas, limited time and still so much to do - I actually excused myself from a paid gig to use LLM for narrative purposes recently, not because I don't think it will work (it may well work) but because it struck me as a rabbit hole I couldn't go down without cutting off other projects from existing clients. Pragmatism won out, as it is wont to do.
I do weigh your opinion highly, though - even if I remain a sceptic for the time being. 😅

Stay wonderful!
Thanks Chris. This conclusion is based on my own research. The best way to try out the models is to get a free subscription and give it a go.
