And it's a rare privilege to get to talk to them.

If we can make an AI that is like the world's best dinner party guest, super interesting.

knows about everything, incredibly interested in you and takes the time to like understand where they could push your thinking in a new direction.

That seems like a good thing to me.

And I've also had this experience with AI where I had the experience of talking to a real expert in an important area and that changing how I think about the world, which for sure there is some human that could have done that, but I didn't happen to be with him or her right then.

Yeah, I think a lot of people are still stuck back in the GPT-3 days, ancient history back in 2021 when none of this stuff worked really.

It did hallucinate a lot.

If you use the current chat GPT,

It still hallucinates some for sure, but I think it's like surprising that it's generally pretty robust.

We train these models to make predictions based off of all the words they've seen before.

There's a bunch of wrong information in the training set.

There's also sometimes cases where the model fails to generalize like it should.

And teaching the model when it should confidently express that it doesn't know versus, you

is still an area of research, but it's getting a lot better.

And with our new reasoning models, there's a big step forward there too.

I think that will become part of the process.

I think there will be a lot of other things that make it better too, but that will be part of the process.

You see versions of this throughout history.

Like when AI started playing chess, there was a time where humans were better.

Then there was a time when the AIs were better.
