    If by AI he means LLM or generative AI then sure. But LLM and GenAI are not truly AI in the full sense of the meaning. They’re building blocks to it. A mind is more complex. The singularity still approaches at blistering speed.

    Edit: downvotes don’t change the fact that these "AI"s are not intelligent. It’s a misnomer by ppl who want to sell you shit. https://bigthink.com/the-future/artificial-general-intelligence-true-ai/

      Sounds like you’re mixing up AI with AGI and have no idea of what you’re talking about, like 99% of the people on the internet who suddenly act like they’re data science experts. This article is just taking advantage of the fact that people like you don’t know what “AI” means to get clicks by misdirecting you with improperly worded claims. “True AI” doesn’t mean anything.

      Also the term “AI” to describe complex algorithms existed long before the technology was ever in the capitalist market. You literally just completely made that part up. One of the guys that coined it (John McCarthy) was one of the most important computer scientists of all time, who was also a cognitive scientist, he’s the same guy who invented garbage collection and Lisp. One of the other guys to coin the term was Claude Shannon, who is widely considered the father of information theory and laid the foundation for the Information Age. The other people to participate in coining the term include the person who made the first assembler & designed the first mass-produced computer, and the guy who proposed the theory of bounded rationality. The guys who coined AI and founded/established the field were pretty much Turing’s successors, not people looking to “sell you shit”.

      You mean they aren’t General Artificial Intelligence. They definitely are AI.

      That said, I do think we’re like 2 or 3 paradigm shifts away from General AI.

        I think we’re probably a lot further than that.

          Tbf it probably depends what you would say counts as a “paradigm shift”, but either way, yours is for sure a fair opinion.

      LLM are parlour tricks that impress the gullible and easily confused. LLM aren’t building blocks for anything but energy consumption and greed. “The singularity” isn’t coming, true intelligence isn’t coming. You’ve been lied to, and this is the fourth time in my career alone that this has had to be said.
