@GaryMarcus

the industry’s preferred way to obscure things is to conflate LLMs with AI, and to ignore the fact that recent contributions have come from adding things - mostly (neuro)symbolic - to those LLMs (precisely as my famous 2022 paper forcecast) and to ignore the fact that the new techniques for doing so still at present work best in limited domains such as math and coding. keep your eye on the ball; they sure as hell won’t be candid about what’s happening.
