Deep dives
The Limitations of Current AI Technology
Artificial intelligence, particularly large language models like ChatGPT, is advancing but remains far from achieving conscious thought. While these technologies offer enhanced data management and insights compared to traditional search engines, they still face significant limitations due to the design of the underlying hardware. Currently available GPUs, originally tailored for gaming graphics, are not optimized for AI tasks, leading to inefficiencies in processing and energy consumption. The anticipated development of chips specifically designed for AI applications will not materialize for several years, which creates uncertainty about AI's immediate and mass adoption.
