    Where some underrepresented domains have made massive strides, this GPT thing has done relatively little for data science.

    The important thing is that “what AI/ML can and cannot do” is not changing that much. It’s successful application is what’s changed. The idea of making AI libraries more accessible is huge, and leads to stuff like this. But under the hood, OpenAI doesn’t do much different than other AI tools. It’s just easier to use yourself. You can do more faster as computers get faster, but that seems to be limited with the endgame of Moore’s Law anyway.

    OpenAI runs on supercomputers now. It’ll continue to run on supercomputers in the future. Instead of getting better, it has started to get worse at many things. Experts have always had a fairly good grasp of where it’ll end. There are things AI was always expected to do better than humans at. And things it never will.

    I mean, I expected AI image generation and better text quality. But I also expected the limits it currently has. And I’ve only done a little directly in the field.
