Yes, it’s the hyperbole.

This is, at best, an incremental development of an existing technology.

Though even that is debatable considering the wildly differing opinions in this thread in regards to this vs other models.

I suppose my point is along these lines.

When gpt3 was trained, its parent company refused to release the weights claiming it was a “clear and present danger to civilization”. Now GPT3 is considered a discardable toy.

So either these things are going toward an inflection point of usefulness or this release too will be, in time, mocked as a discardable toy too.

So why every 3 days do we get massive threads with people fawning over the new fashion like this singular technology that is developing is ackshually finally become the fire stolen from the gods.

I’ve yet to see any llm proselytizers acknowledge this glaring fact:

Each new release is “game changing”.

The implication being the last release y’all said was “game changing” is now “from a different century”.

Do you see it?

For this to be an accurate and true assessment means you were wrong both before and wrong now.
