We are, if this comment is the standard for all criticism on this site. Your comment seems harsh. Perhaps novel writing is too low-brow of a standard for LLM critique?
I am amazed at the progress that we are _still_ making on an almost monthly basis. It is unbelievable. Mind-boggling, to be honest.
I am certain that the issue of pacing will be solved soon enough. I'd give 99% probability of it being solved in 3 years and 50% probability in 1.
Yeah, but 10% plus 20% plus 20%... next thing you know you're at +100% and your server is literally double the speed!
AI progress feels the same. Each little incremental improvement alone doesn't blow my skirt up, but we've had years of nearly monthly advances that have added up to something quite substantial.
(For those too young or unfamiliar: Mary Poppins famously had a bag that she could keep pulling things out of.)
Yes, Z is indeed a big advance over Y was a big advance over X. Also yes, Z is just as underwhelming.
Are customers hurting the AI companies' feelings?
No. It's the critics' feelings that are being hurt by continued advances, so they keep moving goalposts so they can keep believing they're right.
