Slowly, no one even realized, our jobs were replaced by AI talking to itself.

I had a "OMG, we live in the future!" moment reading this headline, isn't this what computers in sci-fi movies do (ok admittedly there aren't a lot of sci-fi movies where office work is the plot): you ask it to do something like yo would an assistant, and it delivers you the results. Something like "Computer, scan planet for lifeforms" on Star Trek. Maybe someone should build a KITT from Knight Rider using ChatGPT (j…

Very coincidentally I am trying to understand AI better, and I am reading "Regular Expression Puzzles and AI Coding Assistants" and it says on its first few pages: Due to transformer deep neural networks mostly pushed forward to a 2017 paper called "Attention is all you need". Prompted by your question I searched where the people who wrote this paper work at, and... (unsurprisingly drum roll), a team from Google.

It is well-known that Google had world-class researchers working on AI for a long time now, and that they pioneered a lot of techniques used in the recent AI craze.

While I like to joke about Google products failing as much as the next guy, you've got to give them credit for mostly being focused on research and publishing their results publicly. Other than, you know, a company that calls themselves "Open"AI, who now even consider it too dangerous (due to competition), to even release the number of parameters of their most recent model, much less talk about the actual research.

It seems clear that the recent golden age of AI research is behind us. OpenAI fired the first shot, and now every company is scrambling to put every dollar out of their budget into productization/weaponization of the tech. There is zero incentive for anyone to publish papers, models and weights now that guarding them as trade secrets is infinitely more valuable. It isn't researchers calling the shots now but but PMs.

I'm looking forward to the day when the "help me write" and the "summarize" features are the inverse of each other. You're sending an email. You enter "I'm on it" into the help me write box, and the AI generates a complete corporate-speak email using all the latest buzzwords. Then the recipients get the email and the summarize feature shows them: "I'm on it".

If the revealed preference of everyone is short, terse speech, why isn't business writing optimizing for that?

Just waiting for google to have a superior overall AI, but so phenomenally fucking up the product launch that it just fades into obscurity while getting eclipsed by its competitors. Really I can't think of anything more google than that. No idea why shareholders still tolerate their crap.
