“About to” in at best a couple decades. AI is about to be the next fusion energy.

As of a couple of weeks ago, a public, free-to-use LLM-based AI can just casually pass the BAR. It has the fastest adoption curve of anything — anything — we’ve seen in our lifetime.

I’ve already seen the explosion. I’m just waiting for the shockwave.

That doesn’t really surprise or impress me tbh. It’s a computer, which benefits from having a far better memory and recall than a human while also not drinking, partying, or being distracted, passing a standardized test. You could program a non-AI to do something like that. An AI passing a standardized test is line you or me passing it with a searchable answer key.

You could program a non-AI to perform any given task, but the entire point of my statement is that it casually passes the exam. It was not programmed to do that, but that doesn’t stop it from passing what’s commonly regarded as a very hard test. It simultaneously crushes programming challenges. But, most importantly, it can do most people’s jobs. It can’t do all of them perfectly but it can do them much cheaper than humans can for the loss in quality.

You’re looking at a Fabricator and saying “but that other machine can build a car, this isn’t really impressive”, which is entirely missing the point.

It may have passed the test, but I would not use this as an indication that it could represent you in court. Unless it is fundamentally different than the other large language models it will confidently lie and is only really "motivated" to produce probable responses to given prompts.

The AI they trained on only research papers was shut down very quickly when it started making very detailed lies citing studies that seem plausible yet don't exist.

Now this is by no means an unsolvable problem, but solving it is not something we can just assume. AI alignment is not an easy problem.

Oh, yeah. You could totally just pass the bar with Google search. Sure. Tell me more of your fanciful tales of professions you know nothing about!
