[Sloppy]

Hype is ever-present, beware. OK.

ML was overhyped but has proven useful, OK.

But the new Generative AIs are fundamentally different. They are trained without any notion of a ground truth. They therefore have no concept of reality. They only know what is real-ish. They are psychotic. Temper the hype with the caveat--"but what it produces is often untruthful or unreal" and the hype is instantly clear.

This essay fails to account for why GAI is so different. This problem can only be solved with new methods for training that have as yet not been invented. Older style ML is based on using some ground truth and comes with a metric that measures how close it is to this truth. Not so of any of the new GAI, so continue to beware until researcher figure out how to measure truth--and good luck with that.
