I hesitate to pile on as another peanut gallery member writing off Chomsky's latest work, but...I have to feel the same way. I certainly understand skepticism and reservation about big predictions for what our current AI tools will evolve to be in 3, 5, 10 years etc. But when I see some dramatic criticisms of the tech as it exists today, I often feel a disconnect to my own experience. ChatGPT was hugely useful for me at work, and BingChat is even more useful. Does it have its flaws? Yes. But it's a tool I would happily pay for every month rather than lose now.

And on that note, I don't "write off" this article entirely just because I disagree on some of the points. It's still an interesting analysis. Edit: In line with the article, I'll note I myself would not yet make a confident prediction that this very useful tool on my desktop is actually a proto-AGI.
