Comment on ELI5. Limit of current gen AI/LLMs
vaderaj@lemmy.world 6 days agoThat’s been my issue, ie somewhere I know all this LLM lead AI is a bubble. But the corporates either increase the context window or release something that does better parallel subjobs after 3 months, and now all of a sudden this LLM lead AI is the “future” and it can perform “agentic” tasks.
It kinda makes it impossible to make people (friends who are developers, colleagues) look past the marketing gimmicks.

I mean, even as-is, it’s a very useful tool. Especially as the capabilities we have get exponentially cheaper.
What people don’t get is AI is about to become a race to the bottom, not to the top. It’s a utility to sift through millions of documents or run simple bots, or work assistants, or makeshift translators or whatever; you know, oldschool language modeling. And that’s really neat as the cost approaches “basically free.”
