Cannot believe how it could stand up to that high expectation.

But then again, all of this is a hype machine cranked up till the next one needs cranking.



There are so many people on-board with this idea, hypemen collaborators, that I think they might be safe for a year or two more. The hypers will shout about how miraculous it is, and tell everyone that does not get the promised value that "you are just holding it wrong". This buys them a fair amount of time to improve things.


Yeah.

It does feel like we're marching toward a day when "software on tap" is a practical or even mundane fact of life.

But, despite the utility of today's frontier models, it also feels to me like we're very far from that day. Put another way: my first computer was a C64; I don't expect I'll be alive to see the day.

Then again, maybe GPT-5 will make me a believer. My attitude toward AI marketing is that it's 100% hype until proven otherwise -- for instance, proven to be only 87% hype. :-)


Just like self driving. The last 20% is actually really difficult without AGI
