    I’ve been told that the LLMs are reaching pretty hard diminishing returns, in that you need exponentially increasing amounts of compute for linear returns in model performance. The cost of marginal improvements is bumping into practical limits.

    It can’t turn into general AI, that’s not how LLMs work. So they’re uselessly throwing money after nothing.

      It’s like saying adding more steps to a ladder will make it fly.

      Fundamentally, LLMs are not AI.
