Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast ... as it gets better, we'll become too dependent.

"all of this growth is for a new technology that’s still finding its footing, and in many applications—education, medical advice, legal analysis—might be the wrong tool for the job,,,"

Copilot, ChatGPT, pretty much all of them.

Smarter how? Synthetic benchmarks?

Because I've heard the opposite from users and bloggers.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So you want me to provide some evidence that it's getting smarter, but you can't provide any that it's getting worse other than anecdotal evidence?

What evidence would you accept?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Any proof that we have moved past the current architecture.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

What does "architecture" mean in this scenario?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Any significant shift in the model, or a complete restructuralization of the approach.

As it is, it won't grow anywhere.

So you’ve got access to all this stuffs source code and know what has and hasn’t changed with every update?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No, if there was any major breakthrough, it would be advertised everywhere.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They’re constantly advertising updates to these chat bots in what they can do.

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

No, they are spreading lies about shit that doesn't matter as to not lose the hype.

If anyone made any significant advance, they would be all over the world.
