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,,,"

Copilot, ChatGPT, pretty much all of them.

Smarter how? Synthetic benchmarks?

Because I've heard the opposite from users and bloggers.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you want me to provide some evidence that it's getting smarter, but you can't provide any that it's getting worse other than anecdotal evidence?

What evidence would you accept?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any proof that we have moved past the current architecture.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What does "architecture" mean in this scenario?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any significant shift in the model, or a complete restructuralization of the approach.

As it is, it won't grow anywhere.

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

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] msage@programming.dev 0 points 2 months 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.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] msage@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

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.
