Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast ... as it gets better, we'll become too dependent.

"all of this growth is for a new technology that’s still finding its footing, and in many applications—education, medical advice, legal analysis—might be the wrong tool for the job,,,"

So you’ve got access to all this stuffs source code and know what has and hasn’t changed with every update?

No, if there was any major breakthrough, it would be advertised everywhere.

They’re constantly advertising updates to these chat bots in what they can do.

Small incremental updates on little tasks mean nothing, the underlying issues are still the same.

It has no intelligence, and as such carries big risks.

[–] msage@programming.dev 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, they are spreading lies about shit that doesn't matter as to not lose the hype.

If anyone made any significant advance, they would be all over the world.

You’re not backing this up with anything. Those of us who use them know they’ve been making big updates regularly.

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're not backing anything up either, just 'my experience'.

Do you want me to just link to Microsoft and OpenAI’s pages about their AI chatbots updates?
