P.S. : Oups ! this is already 4 days old post.
You can describe a spell checker as something linear using linear equations.
The actual development of artificial intelligence is exponential. The present day artificial intelligence systems contains feedback loops so the system cannot be described with linear mathematics.
The complete system which includes these machines, plus associated economics, plus works from searcher on these systems is exponential.
Many specialists on this domain have expressed their fear that humanity will lose control with artificial intelligence and if you ask my opinion : we already have lost control.
You're drinking too much of the koolaid. AI right now is mostly a buzz while people figure out that LLM is just very well adapted to SOUND intelligent. The "intelligence" we see in LLMs like ChatGPT are mostly coded by people.
Yes, its a problem when those who hire choose to hire LLMs instead of humans. But if you read those stories you discover that LLMs aren't actually performing well at their jobs.
LLMs are very sophisticated bullshit generators.
What if LLMs are just a step in this evolution ?
This is what I propose.
What isn't a step in that evolution? LLMs have been around for a while. It wasnt until openai decided to turn it into a product that it caught people's attention.
One of the next products might be from the work of Jeff Hawkins and his students // colleagues.
I found his book On intelligence fascinating. At least the first half because I could not grasp the rest.
