How time flies. Just 3.5 years ago, gpt-3.5 was touted as almost AGI, we're all going to be replaced by machines and worst case they will kill us all. And here we are, not much later, and it serves as the benchmark for "stupid"..
Where I work we invited a bunch of people circa May 2023: a few top tier academics, a few government and NGO officials in charge of our industry, and a few startup founders. We are a big company, so people were kind enough to come and give speeches - and discuss.
This was a roundtable on what's going to happen. You could play some of the speeches verbatim today and they would not feel out of place. And that is telling. We had a Stanford professor saying that gpt-3.5 can do everything he can - just better, and he feels his profession is on borrowed time. We had a government guy saying that entire swaths of jobs will be displaced before the year ends. And so on.
The interesting thing is, a lot of people believed it then - and a lot of people believe it now. I wonder if we will have the same deja vu in, say, 2029. No, for sure not. It's going to be done and dusted for human thinking by end of this calendar year.
If you have the names, so we can record them in the History of Laughing Stocks...
Also remember maybe all those who shouted "that is really, precisely unintelligent".
Incidentally: also Sam Altman, in an interview with Lex Fridman, said "that is not proper intelligence but currently we do not know how to get there" - if very Altman refused to call it AGI...
edit: Ok, I will self-apologize. Its apparently a 3B model. Mighty impressive for what it does.
