not long ago these people would have you believe that a next word predictor trained on reddit posts would somehow lead to artificial general superintelligence

Because the most powerful solution to that is to have intelligence; a model that can reason. People should not get hung up on the task; it's the model(s) that generates the prediction that matters.

People believed ELIZA was sentient too. I bet you could still get 10% or more people, today, to believe it is.

ELIZA was probably more effective than most therapists.

Definitely cheaper.
