I love the HN mindset. See, most people here have some aspiration towards being the next great CEO so of course AI can’t possibly do that job. But, sure, it can do everyone else’s job and even drive cars and fly planes.
Since you asked nicely- I have no real desire to be a CEO. I also have no yearning to work for a glorified shell script. There's a disturbing mindset shared by some people here who can't differentiate between intelligence and the babbling of a mechanical turk.
It's pretty comical to read - "no no no, it can't predict THOSE tokens!!!" XD
Making intelligent decisions != predicting tokens. Current AI only resembles intelligence to those that don't understand it. It's a tool that should operate with the guidance of a human.
It is a statistical model. Why would it not be any better than a CEO looking at spreadsheets? (Rhetorical question.)
Because that's not all a leader does? Maybe it could replace some of the repeatable parts of spreadsheet looker worker's job though- or augment the decision making process of spreadsheet reader CEO if she's okay with hallucinations sometimes.
Sufficiently advanced token prediction is indistinguishable from intelligence.
