    That’s specifically LLMs. Image recognition like OP has nothing to do with language processing. Then there’s generative AI which needs some kind of mapping between prompts and weights, but is also a completely different type of “AI”

    That doesn’t mean any of these “AI” products can think, but don’t conflate LLMs and AI as being the same

        Neural networks aren’t going anywhere because they can be genuinely useful, just not to solve every problem

            You should watch actually AI safety researcher’s thoughts on this. Here’s the link. It’s partially overhyped, but huge strides have been made in this area and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s best to be extra careful than ignorant.

            And that somehow means we shouldn’t do OCR anymore, or image classification, or text to speech, or speech to text, or anomaly detection, or…?

            Neural networks are really good at pattern recognition, e.g. finding manufacturing defects in expensive products. Why throw all of this away?
