> We beat the Turing test! I guess? It's very clear that the Turing Test is not a sufficient benchmark for intelligence, though, because a lot of the answers I get (far too many, compared to a human) are nonsense, technically. They feature correct grammar, and they sound correct, but are very, very wrong. In fact, a lot of the responses I get are simply catastrophically wrong when I ask technical questions. I wonder what else these things are wrong about? There's no way it's merely technical stuff, where usually there are only a small number of correct answers, if there are multiple correct answers at all. My employer has bots in Teams which have been trained on years of questions and answers and the answers they give are so incredibly wrong that we've replaced them all with fixed-response automation. GenAI has been a severe disappointment, even for me, and I had almost no hopes for it at all and have poo-pooed the technology from the start. > You can drive around in a self-driving car! Can you? Really? Or do you need to be there to prevent the car from doing stupid things? The only fully self-driving vehicles that I know of either follow fixed routes, operate in a small, fixed area, or do not carry humans at all. Another example of where many AI promises were made, and the results have simply failed to materialize. Generative AI, at least for anything useful, has been a severe disappointment for me. Even if I spent $0.01 per year on it, I would consider it a waste of money. |
