Academia to Industry

Ah yes, ph.d intelligence, but the wisdom of a toddler.

PhD level intelligence? Sounds about right.

Extremely narrow field of expertise ✔️
Misplaced confidence in its abilities outside its area of expertise ✔️
A mind filled with millions of things that have been read, and near zero from interactions with real people✔️
An obsession over how many words can get published over the quality and correctness of those words ✔️
A lack of social skills ✔️
A complete lack of familiarity of how things work in the real world ✔️

Translation: GPT-5 will (most likely illegally) be fed academic papers that are currently behind a paywall

NFTs will keep their value forever...

Will GPT-7 then be a burntout startup founder?

Wow... They want to give AI even more mental illness and crippling imposter syndrome to make it an expert in one niche field?

Sounds like primary school drop-out level thinking to me.

It would have to actually have intelligence, period, for it to have PhD level intelligence. These things are not intelligent. They just throw everything at the wall and see what would stick.

All aboard the hype train! We need to stop using the term "AI" for advanced auto complete. There is not even a shred of intelligence in this. I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?! The amount of hype being repeated by respectable journalists is sickening.

GPT-10 will do my mom

GPT-7 will have full-self-driving.
But that's next year.

Now it can not only tell you to eat rocks, but also what type of rock would be best for your digestion.

What a bunch of bullshit. I've asked ChatGPT recently to do a morphological analysis of some Native American language's very simple sentences, and it gave absolute nonsense as an answer.

And let's be clear: It was an elementary linguistics task. Something that I did learn to do on my own by just doing a free course online.

So copying everyone else’s work and rehashing it as your own is what makes a PhD level intelligence? (Sarcastic comments about post-grad work forthcoming, I’m sure)

Unless AI is able to come up with original, testable, verifiable, repeatable previously unknown associations, facts, theories, etc. of sufficient complexity it’s not PhD level…using big words doesn’t count either.

Having a PhD doesn’t say you’re intelligent. It says you’re determined & hardworking.

PHD in what?

I like how they have no road map on how to achieve general artificial intelligence (apart from lets train LLMs with a gazillion parameters and the equivalent of yearly energy consumed by ten large countries) but yet pretend chatgpt 4 is only two steps away from it

the only thing this chatbot will be able to simulate is unreasonable persistence

Is it weird that I still want to go for my PhD despite all the feedback about the process? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PhD or candidate that’s enthusiastically said “do it!”

The fact that I have a PhD while I knew that I wouldn't use it quickly after I begun, thus loosing years of my life is the proof that I'm dumb as a rock. Fitting for ChatGPT.

Oh... that's the same person (in the image at least) who said "Yeah AI is going to take those creative jobs, but those jobs maybe shouldn't have existed in the first place".

Which GPT will take my job? I would imagine it's only a year out, at the most.

Then what? I leave my tech job and go find menial labor?

Fuck our government for not laying down rules on this. I knew it would happen, but goddamn...

Yeah? Well... GPT-7 will be a CEO on LinkedIn!

Would these even matter if it also randomly spits out nonsense they can’t figure out how to stop it from producing?

So when it helps out with a recipe, we won't get a suggestion specifically for Elmer's, but rather the IUPAC name for superglue?

I can't imagine looking at the world and thinking we need more industry. Also, I know a lot of PhDs. Knowing a lot of things about a particular subject in know way correlates with intelligence.

Literally the only thing I've seen this used for that seems impressive and useful is that Skyrim companion

I'm more interested if it can have empathy and give it something like a soul. Mostly so we don't get murdered.

It will have a post talking about the pivot to industry, but will not have actually done the transition itself.

Yet Chat-GPT 4 sucks at coding.

She looks like that girl from bored ape yacht club
