Reply to comment by bluntisimo in Futurology CMV - We are probably never going to see the changes envisioned by AI enthusiasts. by dja_ra

Are you kidding? There are already prompt engineering consultants making huge stacks teaching organizations how they can augment or even replace their knowledge workers with language models. Everyone is very underprepared for how quickly things are going to change.

Except that right now, language models are generating plausible, but inaccurate output. It can only work with the data its given. Maybe it will never get better than that. The alchemists kept thinking that they were going to get gold from lead if they worked at it long enough. We are still waiting.

If you understood what you were talking about, you wouldn’t comment. So far, I’ve seen entire web apps designed and built by ChatGPT, among a whole host of other insanely impressive things. Obviously it’s not a perfect system but far from useless as you’ve implied.
