That and marketing. Microsoft wants all of them sweet £ flowing in and thus over selling what their ai does. Sad part is that many will fall for it.

Well many fell for Watson, I'm not sure how MBAs just believe anything marketing says.

There is not much to fall for when you can test it for free already.

I also watches the writer of the papers talk and it was a good talk.

I also saw the progress of ml in the last 5 years and I have never seen something progressing that fast (besides Smartphones perhaps).

So it's not far fetched that got 4 is not at the ceiling of doable.

The opposite: chatgpt makes it much easier to get funding, the race is on

Not surprising at all. I throw a wall of code at GPT-4, write a paragraph of what i want it to do (I couldn't spend the time to figure out a good solution), and within a minute I had a great functioning solution perfectly integrated into my existing code.

The surprising thing is not that it was able to code a good solution, it's that it was able to understand the specifications of how i wanted it to work and how it should be integrated into the existing code.
