I completely agree that there is a hype cycle with every new advancement in AI, and that the novelty can wear off quickly. But I think it's important to remember that these advancements are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what AI is capable of. While it's easy to get excited about a cool new trick that a computer can do, we need to remember that AI is still in its early stages and has a lot of room for growth. As AI continues to advance, we'll likely see more and more impressive capabilities that will truly change the world in ways we can't even imagine yet. So while it's natural to get excited and then let the excitement fade, I think it's important to remember the potential of AI and keep pushing forward with its development.

Oh by the way, this comment was generated by chatGPT with the following prompt: "Respond to the following comment in the character of someone who is optimistic about the continued growth of AI capabilities. (Your comment)"



Funnily enough, two sentences in I thought "this comment sounds like it was written by GPT3."

To me that says that as impressive as it is, it's not passing the Turing test anytime soon.


It certainly has its own distinct voice. I think it has some constraints inside it that forces it to only speak in complete, grammatically correct sentences. If you give it different directions for what kind of structure to provide, it can really change how it sounds. I got interesting and more natural sounding results asking it to play "a human who occasionally does not respond with complete sentences", and also "a laconic human".
