   Fake news to pump up their share price. You can't trust any news about A.I. these days, especially near their IPOs.

   This A.I. hype makes the Internet Bubble look like a walk in the park.

      Why is it fake news, and how do you know that?

      1. hn_submit · 1790277582 · focus · HN ↗

         They're publishing press releases about "novel discoveries" done with their A.I. all the time. When you look closely it's very minor stuff.

         Like that story about their A.I. "escaping" its sandbox and hacking other companies. Purely to instill the idea that it's intelligent and has a will of its own.

         It wouldn't even surprise me if behind every prompt you type some Indian in a sweatshop is typing the response.

      If by now you still think it's all just hype, it's safe to say you've succumbed to a mind virus that renders you unable to think critically about AI. Otherwise you'd have some level of awareness of just how far this technology has developed, and you should find these developments more than plausible.

         A.I. is an extremely broad term. I'm not convinced that the capabilities of these LLMs are what they claim them to be.

         That's not to say that advances in machine intelligence can't lead to something that's truly useful or even groundbreaking in the future. I'm just saying that the current technology isn't that and I therefore call it a hype.
