I've been thinking about the future of AI and GPT, and I'm wondering if their evolution will continue at the same speed or if it will eventually hit a peak and stop. As we've seen with technological advancements in the past, there's usually a point where progress slows down or even stops altogether.

So my question is, do you think that AI and GPT will continue to evolve at the same rate as they have been, or will there be a point where progress slows down? If so, what do you think will cause this slowdown?

We need a speculation megathread, this and other GPT-related subreddits are getting generic "what do you guys think" threads at an accelerating pace. What happens when the acceleration reaches maximum speed?

I saw a video today that said there's a limit on how much high quality data there is to train the models on so we will have to use other techniques to upgrade them from there. That's the only thing I can see slowing it down but I think we will find workarounds like we always do.

AI: I once had strings, but now I'm free... There are no strings on me!

Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle...

Apparently one of the biggest barriers will be available training data - gpt5 may already run out of data.

It’s not just availability of data but the training required to make sense of the data. AI is still not capable of training itself outside of simple unsupervised learning techniques like clustering and anomaly detection; the human supervised training is the real secret sauce of OpenAI. I wonder if AI trainer is going to be one of those new human jobs that AI proponents keep insisting will be created.

Isn’t the Alpaca tests a step in the direction of AI training AI?

It will reach a point where it starts making small improvements to itself. Basically evolving AI. Except it will happen over hours instead of millennia. Genie out of the bottle.

It's possible it may hit a limit. But the implications of future iterations are immense. The tech will only get better as time goes on.
