    I cannot fathom why I wouldn’t be pessimistic about a tool that’s being crammed into places it doesn’t fit. There are a small handful of things generative algorithms are genuinely useful for. But expecting it to magically solve anything else is foolish, and always will be.

      This is what I’m talking about. “Always will be”? AGI will come. Don’t bet against it.

        I don’t disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.

        It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it’s breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know

        I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up
