@Tattooed_Mummy we are trying to replace humans with humanlike computer programs. What could possibly go wrong? Calling it now: we will soon have equivalents of babysitters, teachers and psychologists for AIs. Assuming that next steps will be memory and self correction in AI development.

@root42 @Tattooed_Mummy those "next steps" are no closer to becoming reality today than they were 30 years ago.

@tob @root42 @Tattooed_Mummy
I am not so sure about that. 30 years ago Eliza was about the best you could get for "therapy" chat bots, now there are things like Replika, Elomia, Mindspa, etc. We have come a long ways in the last 30 years. Note that I am not saying good, just that we have come a long way.

@nikatjef @tob @Tattooed_Mummy My point. And memory is already on its way and will be another game changer for current models. I do think that AI will still do great strides, but I don't see the point or better: I see a lot of drawbacks and dangers. We totally lose track that whatever we do we should do it for humanity, not "because".

@root42 @nikatjef @Tattooed_Mummy LLM is a cul-de-sac. An interesting party trick and toy.

The "game changers" aren't anywhere except in peoples' fantasies.

What you have instead is the masked work of humans. e.g. Nigerians working for $2/hour filtering through thousands of horrific images in the vain hope that Midjourney won't produce snuff-porn.

@tob @root42 @nikatjef @Tattooed_Mummy@beige.part $2? You are being generous. In some countries it's more like $0.05 for valid task.
