I get that people are excited, but nobody with a basic understanding of how evolutionary biology works should give room to this.
The problem is not just that it is IGF optimizing/blind hill climbing.
At best it can randomly stumble onto useful patterns. There is no element of critique and no element of creativity. There is no theory of mind, there is just a stochastic reproduction maximizing, when prompted they just respond with what maximizes their odds of reproducing.
Still, get the excitement. Am excited, too. But hype hurts the industry.
