Isn't it consensus that AGI will never arise from LLMs?

>>EasyMa+(OP)
Just based on current energy usage never going to happen. You just have to ask them to show you their energy bills alongside their demos.

>>EasyMa+(OP)
There is no such consensus.

>>EasyMa+(OP)
No... A good number of folks will even go so far as to say that "all we do" is token prediction too. It's worth noting -- OpenAI founder Elon Musk claims in a lawsuit that the company has achieved AGI. Make of that what you will, but certainly there are many people on this site who believe in the general potential of LLMs.

Elon also claims that Tesla has solved full self driving, has announced robotaxis, while the SEC is investigating him for "inappropriate forward-looking statements".

A plane takes a LOT more energy than a bird, yet both fly, one of them a lot faster.

>>daniel+l8
A plane is good at hauling cargo and goes fast, but general flying skills? Doesn't even come close.

Exactly, a giant LLM is not even close to be as power efficient as a human brain, in the same vein as a plane isn't as good at general flying. Yet it provides huge value and in many dimensions (that are important to us as humans) a plane can do way more than any bird.

>>daniel+Dj
Honestly, is ChatGPT providing huge value yet though ?

It’s cool and all. But I’m not sure if I’d say it’s as useful as flight yet.

If I could choose between LLm access and aviation, I’d stick with aviation.

Great point. I should have phrased it "majority consensus", my bad.
