In 2016, when I tweeted that human-level language understanding was many years away (which is still the case now, though we're closer), mind the context: this was in response to many people, including prominent VCs, claiming that then-current AI was nearly there and was about to

AI Progress: Applications vs Generality and Future Capabilities

Remember — we are making progress on AI (though far more on applications than on generality, which remains largely a green field). The progress is significant in speed and magnitude. But the conventional wisdom of the tech community about current and near-future AI capabilities

AI capability predictions: 2016 expectations versus 2023 reality
By
–
In 2016, people didn't anticipate next-token prediction models (which were LSTMs then) to be this capable, but they did expect AI to soon have most of the capabilities they show now. Remember the chatbot mini-bubble of 2017? It was predicated on 2023 capabilities coming circa

AI Progress Exceeded Expectations Despite Autonomous Vehicles Delay

Yep. LLM‘s came a lot faster than people expected and self driving cars slower. But overall, I’d have to rate AI progress as surprising us on the upside, even people who were relatively optimistic like me. Don’t you agree?
