The article critiques the unrealistic expectations surrounding artificial intelligence, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), which are seen as failing to deliver on their promise. Instead of improving lives as envisioned in 1950s science fiction, LLMs generate low-quality content, including fictionalized recipes with no real culinary value. While there's potential for AI to revolutionize medicine and save lives through data management, the current focus of tech enthusiasts on LLMs leads to the production of trivial and subpar creative work, risking the quality of art and literature.
Remember the science fiction of the 1950s, when people imagined the role robots and artificial intelligence could play, dramatically improving our lives by taking on menial tasks and unpleasant jobs so that we would have more spare time.
AI could be bringing us massive breakthroughs in medicine, given its ability to manage vast amounts of information in ways humans cannot, and thus save millions of lives.
However, this is not the sort of 'AI' techbros are currently losing their minds over. That'd be Large Language Models, which are fed all of human creativity and then spit out weird, gloopy slop.
LLMs are art-in-garbage-out machines, producing content that many find lacking in value or quality.
