This is like a Netscape moment. Or an iPhone moment. Exactly where it's like, oh, wow. I would feel comfortable saying this feels as big a deal as the breakthrough in machine learning that happened in sort of 12, 13, 14. And then suddenly, and of course, what actually happened is now you can have way more patterns because it's way more than you do.
The Sunday Times’ tech correspondent Danny Fortson brings on analyst Benedict Evans to talk about Chat GPT and machine learning (5:00), how it gets things wrong (10:00), the “fluent bullshit” problem (12:00), whether this is a genuine breakthrough moment (15:20), what this means for humans (18:25), “prompt engineering” (23:00), humans as curators rather than creators (26:40), tech’s mid-life crisis (27:45), the future of “search” (32:10), using AI do make “no-code” software (35:00), where we go from here (39:00), and the illusion of creativity (42:45).
