    Whilst maybe GPT-4 will change this, I think it is important to remember that these general ChatBots are not the way we have generally trained LLMs to write the best code. In fact,…

    Contrarian hypothesis for you :) The more I work on AI/ML the more I think the fears around AGI have been misplaced. General intelligence almost by definition involves general moti…
