This tech is in its infancy.

People criticizing current limitations are really missing the point. It's way ahead of what most anyone could have expected 20 years ago, and advancement is accelerating.

It’s way ahead of what I expected a few months ago.

If it's all that they're claiming it's years ahead of where I thought it was even this morning.

Demonstrating theory of mind is huge. Understanding not only that different people have different amounts of information about an event but also being able to extrapolate what that means for their probable future actions. That is mind blowing in itself.

i hate the people making memes about the dumb responses they get talking to chat gpt, and how therefore AI is dumb and we don’t need to worry about it. So many people don’t realize how quickly, like on an exponential level, this kind of technology can advance

I think people get really hung up on the 'how' too and equating that to it, not 'thinking'.

You know 'how' humans come up with thoughts? It's surprising how many people think brains have some special capabilities to be creative masterpieces with every sentence, rather than meat sac computers than chuck out best guess words most of the time.

I don't this this is AGI, but an AGI could definitely come from this track.

Yeah, I've experienced similar in conversations about this recently. A lot of objections seem to boil down to mysticism.
