AI already have an impact, and yes this is PR hype because this is a product. Yet both can be true at the same time. We're not blindly eating what's OpenAI is serving us as gold truth, we're just admitting it's doing remarkable progress. Remember October 2024 Pelicans [1] ? It's been only less than 2 years. We don't know what will come in the next 2 years. But the progress doesn't seem to stop for now.

The pelicans are still not ok to this day. People are skeptical of the announcement because the room include several PHDs in math and physics. The prompts are not published so we can see how generic the starting prompt is.

Nobody is saying it doesn't have an impact. What we're saying is the near-religious fervor isn't warranted. AI boosters always speak in the future tense, which is extremely telling because we have right now is basically "ok" not earth shattering.

  If you think it's "ok", then you're probably not using it the right way. I've been analyzing thousands of x86 traces and the AI made sense of them at a scale no previous human or algorithm could do before - I've been reading assembly everyday for half of my life. I'm doing prototypes in minutes what would take hours or days before. AI is answering questions in such a precise way in so many domains, learning something has never been easier. This is "just ok" for you ? What do you need exactly ? god omniscience ? come on, can't we just appreciate for what it is and be excited about the future ?
