‘AI is not a magic “infinity machine” that can solve all our problems… It’s a normal technology, and perhaps it’s time we start talking about it that way.’
I assert that for A LOT of people, they already viewed most tech as magic even before LLMs went big. I think a lot of people ARE treating LLMs like they treat normal tech. Though when the author says it’s time WE talk about LLMs as normal tech, maybe he’s thinking of tech people and programmers as the WE, not people in general.
I think a lot of tech had already exceeded the normal person’s ability to understand and predict. So this is just really bad coincident timing for LLMs to appear. I have hope that the scales will fall off programmers’ eyes. I don’t have much hope for everyone else.
