Somewhat amusing to consider that the (in-character) Marvel Cinematic Universe JARVIS could have been an LLM!

And of course Ultron is an asshole, it was trained on input from Tony Stark!

Back in 2008/9 I wondered just what would be required to run JARVIS, something you could converse with naturally, would understand what you meant, and be able to take care of complex mechanical tasks. The Iron Man suits have always been mostly Do-What-I-Mean (DWIM) managed by JARVIS or other AI agents, and now all of that seems to be attainable.

It's going to be an interesting time discovering just how well a human and AI agent can work together. I could see a military personal spotter, keeping track of enemy combatants, managing larger awareness of the battlefield, etc. I wonder how much a soldier could safely offload?

Exactly my thought, I was like "Jarvis has got to be just a 2030 version of an LLM".

Yeah I actually considered making a spotter AI using computer vision in a game like ARMA 3 or Squad but kind of difficult. I made a spotter for ground vehicles on aerial imagery using YOLOv5 here: https://github.com/AlexandreSajus/Military-Vehicles-Image-Re...

There's a French defense company, Preligens, that actually does this currently

I imagine that within the next couple of years there's going to be a "general purpose vision" model (GPV? :)

More of a framework to perform the general purpose task of "recognize things in 30 (60? 120?) frames per second video and act on events in the video"
