I’m usually the one saying “AI is already as good as it’s gonna get, for a long while.”

This article, in contrast, is quotes from folks making the next AI generation - saying the same.

    OpenAI, Google, Anthropic admit they can’t scale up their chatbots any further

    Lol, no they didn’t. The quotes this articles are using are talking about LLMs not chatbots. This is yet another stupid article from someone who doesn’t understand the technology. There is a lot of legitimate criticism for the way this technology is being implemented but FFS get the basics right at least.

      Are you asserting that chatbots are so fundamentally different from LLMs that “oh shit we can’t just throw more CPU and data at this anymore” doesn’t apply to roughly the same degree?

        Yes of course I’m asserting that. While the performance of LLMs may be plateauing, the cost, context window, and efficiency is still getting much better. When you chat with a modern chat bot it’s not just sending your input to an LLM like the first public version of ChatGPT. Nowadays a single chat bot response may require many LLM requests along with other techniques to mitigate the deficiencies of LLMs. Just ask the free version of ChatGPT a question that requires some calculation and you’ll have a better understanding of what’s going on and the direction of the industry.

        I feel like people are using those terms pretty well interchangeably lately anyway

          People that don’t understand those terms are using them interchangeably
