“Super intelligence”? Basically LLMs have kind of peaked and now it’s “agents” which are LLMs writing and executing scripts and telling other LLMs to write and execute scripts. Is that useful? Sure. Is it “super intelligent”? Fuck no.

Real life usability fail: my bank has a kiosk that prints tickets to give you your place in line when you don’t have an appointment. The kiosk is at the head of the waiting line. Maybe you can spot the problem without even being here?

I run an art social media site called Sketch a Day. Occasionally we get reports of AI generated art being posted. When I contact the artists to ask if they can prove they did the work themselves. Of all the people who argue and are rude about it, 100% of them it turns out used AI.

A competitor to one of my products launched yesterday and they seem to have had an avalanche of negative reviews and their response seems to be to insult their audience. Should be interesting to see how that goes for them ☺️
