"LLMs are not intelligent and they never will be."

If he means they will never outperform humans at cognitive or robotics tasks, that's a strong claim!

If he just means they aren't conscious... then let's don't debate it any more here. :-)

I agree that we could be in a bubble at the moment though.

I have heard people on both ends of the spectrum:

- LLM's are too limited in capabilities and make too many mistakes - We're still in the DOS era of LLM's

I'm leaning more towards the the 2nd, but in either case pandora's box has been opened and you can already see the effects of the direction our civilization is moving towards with this technology.

DOS actually worked pretty well, at least it worked honest.

I had lots of fun with DOS, even if I was the only PC guy in a circle of friends that were Amiga owners.

The word “never” is a dangerous one. I remember that computers would “never” beat humans at chess. And people would never use the internet for banking.
