You can not trust human output without verification either. That's why you have tests, qa, staging envs, A/B tests..

The are lots of small "oh shit" moments for me. First interaction with an llm was already magical.

"This shit can emulate understand language, find a solution, answer it into words" .

Then came realisations it's not limited to single human languages, you can ask in one language and it could answer in another. It's also capable of understanding and generating code. Not only that, it's better than most humans for that. It can hear, it can see, it can paint, it can do music, it can sing.. It can combine, give a picture, ask for a music from that picture. Give a video, get software. It can mix and match.

After that came improvements, - no The revolutions - It started as a 4 year old with encyclopedic knowledge. It knew but could not convey, could not make sense sometimes. Was incorrect most of the time. Blubber. In a few years it matured to impeccable levels. It now can relate information with a lot of clarity, and it's less and less wrong. Nearly no hallucinations. It can do maths! Correct maths! Maths that I could not even my life depends on it. It's getting to a stage that it can proof where humans failed.

I am getting "oh shit moments" day by day.

You are paying restaurants for food to be prepared in the way you want. But this is not the same. Someone created some content the way they want. You haven't ordered that content. And you complain it's not prepared the way you like.

I have trouble understanding this. I don't see anyone complaining that we use microwaves and ovens instead of going for lit wood to cook or using search engines instead of crawling through libraries, or using Google Maps instead of using paper maps. These are tools. If output of an LLM conveys the ideas to be told, then what is the problem?

Not everyone needs to be magicians with language.

I hate soldering 2 months ago

I am very new to the crafts and I can attest trying to solder smd stuff, with correct equipment is way easier than soldering 2 wires correctly together. And I also kinda hate QFN like packages where you can’t see the pads.

Chemistry is magic to uninitiated. Perhaps LLMs are to you because you are not initiated yet? I never said LLMs are AGI or will ever be AGI. I also never suggested LLMs are perfect and can prove math problems. But having incidents suggesting there are instances that does excites me. Because it was never in my expectation levels.

I have built one PCB with esp32-s3-wroom-1. Usb line is working and I can program the mcu module. However I could not make the ip5306 auto start on battery yet. And I am still unable to get audio from pcm5102a + pam8403 pipeline.

What I have well learned is It's a hard, time consuming and relatively expensive hobby.

Perhaps we could help each other?

Isabelle/HOL (a specialized software to do math proofs) doing proofs is not the analogue to LLMs (with the common accepted degeratory description: automated plagiarism machine) being capable of doing proofs. It's not the marketing, it's what the intention and the capability matrix is coming up to. I would be excited the same when Isabelle/HOL writes poetry.

We already know that same problem has been examined by many credible mathematicians already and couldn't be solved by any of them yet.

Why are we expecting AGI to one shot it? Can't we have an AGI that can fails occasionally to solve some math problem? Is the expectation of AGI to be all knowing?

By the way I agree that AGI is not around the corner or I am not arguing any of the llm s are "thinking machines". It's just I agree goal post or posts needs to be set well.
