Oh, that's a good one. And it's true. There seems to be a massive inability for most people to admit the building impact of modern AI development on society.
Oh, we do admit impact and even have a name for it: AI slop.
(Speaking on LLMs now since AI is a broad term and it has many extremely useful applications in various areas)
They certainly seem to have moved from "it is literally skynet" and "FSD is just around the corner" in 2016 to "look how well it paces my first lady Trump/Musk slashfic" in 2025. Truly world changing.
I’m not sure lacking comprehension of a comment and choosing to ignore that lack is better. Or worse: asking everyone to manually explain every reference they make. The LLM seems a good choice when comprehension is lacking.
This is so on-point. Many things that we now take for granted from LLMs would have been considered sufficient evidence for AGI not all that long ago. Likely the only test of AGI is whether we can still come up with new goalpost.
Haha, so that's the first derivative of goalpost position. You could take the derivative of that to see if the rate of change is speeding up or slowing.
