Who on the entire internet has "marketed" these tools as what you're saying? I've seen some random people making bombastic claims about these models, infamously including a now fired Google engineer, but the people actually marketing them have been pretty sanguine about their features and limitations as far as I can tell.

I'm reminded of that quote about Twitter: half of the outrage on the site is people imagining some person and then getting mad that they exist.

Marketers here used metaphorically not literally.

People/bots hyping these tools is what I meant.

I wish people here would be more attuned to the context of comments before jumping to conclusions.

I wish people here would choose their words more carefully.

Your context was not clear at all, since random commenters on the internet are not responsible for the performance or the delivery or the marketing of these models at all, and you use the word "marketing campaign", which is only ever something that people directly connected to the product in some way are responsible for. Comments by unrelated members of the general public, very few of which have any kind of domain knowledge, are not marketing campaigns for crying out loud!

On top of that, this was the most charitable possible reading of your comment. Now that you reveal you actually meant "when random people make them sound like the next level in universal intelligence…", this is both an incredibly weak point (expecting the general public to understand something deeply is usually unreasonable) and makes you sound overly credulous. Why are you taking your cues on a brand-new technology from uninformed, likely tech-illiterate randoms?

Well, here's the CEO of OpenAI saying that the future [of the graph of AI performance, presumably] is "vertical".

That's not quite evidence in favour of FerociousTimes, but unless we soon see evidence of this "vertical" future, it will become such.
