This takes up way more oxygen than it should, IMO. It's a great marketing ploy, though. "We just invented a technology so powerful, it could blow up the whole Universe!" Calm down, there, Scooter... > the top AI researchers Excluding Yann Lecun. Never listen to anything he says about the limits of LLMs. Nor Francois Chollet. Definitely never listen to either of them, they are total quacks with no qualifications whatsoever. > We shouldn't dismiss that blithely. I don't "dismiss" anything, but the AI pendulum is spinning at 10,000 RPM in the direction of hype, not lack of hype. So, the only articles I read are articles rejecting the hype.
