But it is such that a person people who began doing this say two years ago three years ago When GPT was still just this this emerging thing.
It's possible that within five years time You'll have tens of millions.
I don't know hundreds of millions of people whose most trusted companion in this world is a bot and
It is now.
I mean, it could flatten any time, but I've always resisted this idea of exponential growth because it's never been clear exactly where the curve, if we've really hit that inflection point.
The time I've spent with people at think tanks who spend every day of their lives
testing these systems to see how far they can get them.
I've seen the data on what they've been able to pull out of these systems from two years ago up till now.
I think it's pretty undeniable that wherever this is going, whether it's truly human level intelligence or superhuman intelligence or something subhuman that people look to as superhuman,
The capabilities are increasing, everything from language comprehension, expression, the ability to recall accurate information, the hallucinations aside, and mathematics, the ability to perform complex mathematical operations that it's not like a regular computer where it's programmed to do it.
It figures out how to do it.
And it figures out how to do it in these strange alien methods oftentimes.
It'll take...
mathematical pathways that a human being wouldn't do, but it works.
So, objectively speaking, nobody can deny that artificial intelligence is advancing.
Yes, you have an investment bubble.
Yes, it's overhyped very often, and hopefully, hope to God, that the future projections are
exaggerated but one way or the other it's good enough right now to get millions of people hundreds of millions of people to use it on a daily or weekly basis and to look to it as the highest authority on what is and isn't real one of the biggest things we've seen on and by the way i think we're gonna go to break and then we'll play the cold open with you when you get back because one thing that concerns me a lot is you see
The thing that makes me the most angry about all of this is that it's true that many jobs, maybe most jobs of the future, will require someone to basically use an AI to confirm what they're thinking, to tell them what they're thinking.
But it's not really like some force of nature.
