the future of AI

Interesting take, and it's more or less the same as most prognosticators.

Interesting, and somewhat scary !

Here is the reality...full discloser, my son has his own AI company he is getting ready to sell for eight figures, worked at Amazon first with his software engineering degree so you know my following comments are not from me but him:
1. Today, no matter how good AI is, it is only as good as the data lake it can gain access to for learning.
2. So many companies are selling the hype not the reality of what AI is today.
3. A perfect example that can bring this home to everyone is just look at any retail website today after hearing that company just laid off thousands of workers to be replaced with AI...it appears in the chat function we all see from the right side...Can I help you today? In reality it is only weak Machine Learning given only if a customer's question fits into a nice box it can identify it cannot help you causing incredible frustration at least to me.

Will all the above change in the future...you bet but only if AI can access data lakes so that it can learn...in and of itself just as a child cannot learn without stimuli neither can AI.

Just food for thought.

LLMs...I'm still not terribly impressed with. Furthermore, they're far too easily poisoned.

I had posited with colleagues a year or so ago I thought it would take a massive effort to poison the data. Some research surfaced this past summer it isn't as much of a heavy lift as I had presumed it would be.

That aside, LLMs are just first steps, and as primitive as they are relative to where we are headed, can already be weaponized into bot "armies" to not only discover previously undisclosed vulnerabilities, but create unique exploits for them.

True learning requires observation, theorization, then testing; iterate through that until the testing confirms the theory - that's the basic nature of human epistemology. I'm actually a bit apprehensive about the day that can be achieved by AI. Without the governing control of another branch of philosophy we call ethics, we could be creating some real problems for ourselves.

I heard on the radio today that the AI hurricane forecast for 2025 was far and away more accurate than the traditional forecasters. Of course it’s still just as good as the information that is put into it.
By the way the American model was the worst.
