Assuming by „AI“, you mean generative models such as LLMs and image generators.

Imho, the technology _is_ impressive but very overhyped. The harm to society and environment is greater than its usefulness, by far.

A1 - Cherry-picked results don't mean "working", even if it's the chatbot framework doing the cherry picking.

@ZachWeinersmith Depending on our definitions of "AI" and "work", my answer varies. If we're talking about the current crop of Gen AI tools, and by "work" we mean something like "reliably delivers useful results when used in the intended way" - A1, easy.

@ZachWeinersmith Probably A2, but mainly due to the difference between actual AI research and the generative predictive engines currently being marketed as AI.

@ZachWeinersmith A2

@ZachWeinersmith somewhere between A1 and A2

@ZachWeinersmith A2

@ZachWeinersmith I think A2, but without more clarity around what specifically you mean by "Ai", it's hard to be sure which column I'm in. Are we talking about LLMs only? Machine learning generally? Somewhere in between? Kizuna Ai?

@ZachWeinersmith

I think: What is meant by "AI"?

LLMs have a few use cases but shouldn't qualify as "AI", and are not a step on any path to AGI.

@ZachWeinersmith A2 (like apparently just about everyone else here 🤷)

@ZachWeinersmith
Hm. A2, C2, or A3 - and possibly even C3 - completely depending on what is included in "AI".

@ZachWeinersmith what if I am exactly at that point where A2, A3, B2, and B3 overlap?
