The question is this: At what point will the market and economy stop looking forward at what AI promises to do and start looking backwards at what it has done? We’ve had this technology for three years and what it has done for us amounts to very little more than pollute every form of communication with low value, mass produced drivel and destroyed the ability of teachers to evaluate their students. We have no new medicine, no new math, no new physics in any meaningful way. Yet all eyes are still on the carrot that we’ll never reach: AGI. When will we realize that even the name itself, artificial intelligence, is a lie? It’s just a database of most human knowledge with a very intuitive human language interface, but knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing. At some point, the world will be forced to acknowledge what little it has received in return for its misplaced faith.
