We need to create more powerfull hardware to run those large language model continualy and it is becoming a chalenge to do so already. and untill we do so, all those ai you like have their library prunned and are stuttering because of the limitation in their processor.
there are a number of topic that they can't process either. complicated things like advanced mathematic, astrophisic, oceanography and nature topic, art and psychology to name a few. and their training data pool never contain ALL the information on the internet before their access cutoff. and even if it did, can you say that all of the internet is truth, nothing but the truth and the whole truth of all the event that ever happened ? no, its filled with garbage.
untill those limitation have solution, viable solution ai will only be an immitation of what you would like them to be.
so yes, ai are "joke".
and yes ai is nothing more than a new gimmic that big tech would like to sell us. much like large pharmaceutical conglomerate would like to sell you weigh-reducing pill instead of just telling you to eat better.
ai arent and never will be an all powrfull tool. because its alway gonna be trained on data created by humans. therefor, question that humans don'T know, ai won't know either. go and ask it if there is life on titan. it won't know. because human don't know. and thats in the training data. if we want real scientific advance, it won't go trought ai.
the only thing it will do, maybe a little, is exacerbate problem in the job market by advancing automatisation.
and people will continu to use it to make simulacrum scientific paper and similacrum their exams at school.
its pathetic and its the truth. (its not the fault of the larga language model, don't misunderstand. its literaly a tool the fault fall on peoples having twisted expectation of it and/or exploiting it for their own gain)
