Here’s when we can start getting excited about LLMs: when they start making new and valid scientific discoveries that can radically change our world.
When an AI can say “Here’s how you make better, smaller, more powerful batteries, follow these plans”, then we will have a reason to worship AI.
When AI can bring us wonders like room temperature semiconductors, fast interstellar travel, anti-gravity tech, solutions to world hunger and energy consumption, then it will have fulfilled the promise of what AI could do for humanity.
Until then, LLMs are just fancy search and natural language processors. Puppets with strings. It’s about as impressive as Google was when it first came out.
