Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2023 18:44:58 JST Nazo @nixCraft Right now I'm going to have to say "AI." Especially since none of the things people are insisting upon calling AI over and over actually have the most important part of that: the actual intelligence. LLMs and today's algorithms don't understand, they just sift through connections.
I don't know if it's the most overhyped of all time -- I'm drawing a blank trying to think of others at this level -- but it sure is bad. Companies are throwing everything into it and it's going to fail.
