It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.
Like she’s blatantly full of shit. No one will follow-up on this. The models have already absorbed every publicly available dissertation ever written so what’s stopping it from being this “smart” now? And it still doesn’t address the “hallucination” problem. It’s a nonsense statement.
The thing statements like this are hiding is basically every LLM from the major players has already reached the end of the training data universe. They’ve absorbed everything there is to scrape. They’re in desperate need of new data to build larger models. That data isn’t being created fast enough.
What’s far more likely is, as they’re forced to train models on LLM-generated data, the quality of these models dramatically decreases. Garbage in, garbage out. They’re in a desperate race to squeeze all the value out of this bubble before it bursts.
Yep, slash and burn economy. They don't need a real product, they don't need a real business model, as long as they get enough capital in to make numbers-go-up, they can parachute out of it all when the bubble bursts and get hired by the next tech grift.
