"As of 2025, after more than 80 years of research on Artificial Neural Networks, there remains no evidence of their general intelligence. Even after priming the pump with nearly every book ever written, all available scientific articles, and all publicly available text on the internet (and consuming more power and resources than entire countries), they routinely fail at basic tasks and generate nonsensical output and 'slop' that has already degraded the internet as a source of training data for future systems. The long slow failure of ANNs is a strong indictment against the statistical/neuromorphic approach to AI."
