but we haven't done quite as well at making them good at being general, right?
So we have these large language models, the ChatGPT and Gemini and so on, and they're good at being general, but they're not completely competent yet at doing that, right?
So they'll surprise you in both ways.
give you an amazingly good answer one time and then the next time they'll give you an amazingly bad answer.
So they're not reliable yet at being general.
And then we have incredible tools that are narrow.
And so we're kind of looking at this frontier of how can we make things both more perform better and more general.
And so I think, you know,
We'll get to the point where we'll say, here's an AI, and it can make a chess move, and it can also operate in the world.
But right now, we separate those two things out.
We say we're going to have the chess program that only plays chess, and then we're going to have the large language models.
And it won't be as good at chess, but it will be good at some aspects of figuring out what to do in unusual situations.
So I guess...
You know, it's always better for it to be better, but sometimes we need that and sometimes we don't.
Sometimes we want to make our own decisions.
And I guess part of that is I see too much of people saying AI is going to be one-dimensional and automation is going to be one-dimensional and the more the better.
And I think that's the mistake that I'm worried about.
And there's a great diagram from the Society of Automotive Engineers of level of self-driving cars.
And they define that as five levels of self-driving.
And they did a great job of that.
