Its frustrating to read this over and over again.

AI is basically ml at this point. And it did already A LOT.

Whisper, great jump in quality for speech to text, segment anything, AlphaFold 2, all the research paper Nvidia publishes regarding character movement, AI Raytracing, Nerfs, all the medical research regarding radio imagin, advances in fusion reactors...

We have never been so close to a basic AI/AGI / modern robots. we have instructGPT which allows for understanding 'steps' easier and more stable than anything we developed before in multip languages.

ChatGPT and LLM advances are great and helpful.

Image generation is already poping up in normal life.

AI is not wildly overhyped at this point. We are in the middle of implementation after the first LLM breakthrough and a LOT more money is funnelt into AI/ML research now as it was 10 years ago.

The future is, at least for now, really interesting and there has not been any sign of a wall we are hitting.

Even the missing GPT-5 might feel like a slight wall, but we just got GPT4-o mini which makes all of the LLM greatness a LOT cheaper and a lot easier to use.

We switched from text parsing and avg bad results to just using llama3 (with a little bit of saveguarding) and its a lot better.

Nerfs aren't really ML at all. The algorithm was discovered with ML, but it works just fine without any ML.
I thought there is a Nvidia implementation using ml.

Your account is 3 days old, you haven’t read anything over and over again.

I'm reading hn for over 10 years and i comment on it too much / spend to much time here.

I just create a new account to get away from fomo and add a little bit more effort to commenting.

But as you can see, it doesn't work very well

Really? where ?

In my city on ads. On news article pages. On YouTube.

In my company we even have a LoRa for a specific company style of images (icons and similiar)

> news article pages.

really curious about this. do you have an example link by anychance

https://www.golem.de/news/abwesenheitsassistent-der-schrecke...

Its a german news site for it people.

But i have seen ai image already on the street, unfortunate i was in public transport and not able to take a picture fast enough when i saw it and i currently work most of the time from home.

Most IT news sites I use started to use AI over stock images.
