It’s funny everyone is doubting the funny jokes part. I view funny jokes as computationally hard to generate, probably because I’ve sat down and actually tried, and it doesn’t seem fundamentally easier than coming up with brilliant essay ideas or whatever. But most people just have experience telling jokes in the moment, which is a different kind of non-deep activity. Maybe AI will be better at that, but not so good at e.g. writing an hour of stand-up comedy material that’s truly brilliant?
For example, for things like “LLMs are broadly acknowledged to be plateauing”, it’s probably going to be concurrently both true and false in a way that’s hard to resolve
Yes, this is somewhat ambiguous I admit. I’m kind of fine with that though. I’m not placing any bets, I’m just trying to record what I think is going to happen, and the uncertainty in the wording reflects my own uncertainty of what I think is going to happen.
