So far I've found the AI:s I've encountered at companies to be very bad and
annoying. I also read that more and more people support companies that provide
them with humans, over chat bots, and that the AI label is scaring customers
away.

Like every technology shift, they will find other jobs, and our goods and
services will become cheaper thanks to automation and AI, which will benefit
everyone. There is no impending mass unemployment, regardless of how much
politicians would like for that to be true, so they could scare people into
accepting new "AI-taxes".

This is obvious. Of course, fast forward, 10-20 years, there will be more break
throughs. I believe LLMs have hit their limits and that we won't see _dramatic_
gains as long as LLMs are the underlying technology. We will still see gains,
but they are starting to taper off.

We will also see gains in pruning and making models smaller and more efficient,
while providing the same performance. This I also think is a given.

But LLMs will not lead us to consciousness. They lack will, volition and
motivations. These things, for me, are important ingredients if you want to
argue that you have created a consciousness.

Maybe. We don't even know what we are aiming at, so could be that we create
something brand new and alien. Could also be that we run into some "laws of
thought" that hit once the complexity of the system reaches a certain level, and
we end up replicating ourselves.

I believe I will be alive when it happens and I'm looking forward to it! =)
