Reply to comment by freeThePokemon246 in What might slow this down? by Beautiful-Cancel6235

Man this sub can be something else sometimes. The thread is literally asking for what people think could slow things down and you get downvoted for stating your opinion lol. People need to lay off the hopium a little bit.

To be clear I don't even really agree with your opinion (I think LLM's could possibly see a slowing of improvement soon, but think they will be quickly replaced). Regardless, we should want dissenting opinions, especially when we're asking for them.

I mean I up voted him even though I disagreed, but yeah most people just downvote whatever they disagree with not necessarily what promotes discussion.

Right? Is it not the job of a comment to...ya know...comment on the idea, whether you deem it wrong or right in the context. Upvoting and downvoting should be about filtering out lack of contributing content.

soon AI will be able to identify people that vote this way and eliminate them, er I mean, shadow vote ban them.

"yea man, I totally agree with this. [downvotes it anyway]"
some kind of neurotoxin for AI training data, probably

Agreed. It's a stupid opinion but they did ask for what would possibly cause it to slow down and, of they were right, this would slow it down.

The down votes are probably for saying it's true rather than saying it's a method by which a show down could happen.

That guy doesn't know how much machine learning is used and neither do you.

Did you miss the part where I said I didn't agree with him?

You said you don't agree with his opinion. Lies aren't an opinion.

Can you see the future? Nobody knows for sure how far LLM's will take us. A prediction is not a lie even if it turns out to be false.

And is LLM's the only thing we're doing?

No, and I never said that. It was his opinion that LLM's will stall out and we'll have another AI winter, not mine. I don't see the issue here.

I think we have plenty of other types of models that will find success, LLM's seem to only be one piece of the puzzle.
