Yeah, Reddit has a strong anti-AI sentiment.

I'm not anti-AI, I'm just sceptical that it's as powerful as the AI companies are making out. I don't think we are anywhere near AGI, like centuries away.

I also don't think AI is going to be able to do all human jobs, in the physical world we have seen relatively little progress in robotics compared to the leaps made with transformers. And in the information world, while the LLMs can assist in many tasks and make workers more efficient I don't think they can entirely replace programmers (who are the expensive workers).

So yeah, I just don't think we are going to see the kind of world-changing benefits that OpenAI etc. are promising and which their valuations appear to be based upon.

AGI isnt coming any time soon. The constraint on the progress toward it is R&D, and R&D requires an increase in high quality labour than what exists today.
