Oh I am sure that it became somewhat more accurate, and with that, the labeling there is in fact technically correct. It just does not work as an explainer for the doomsday-ish hype that model has induced in a lot of people's brains.

The user here is right in what they said but wrong in why they said it, essentially.

An analogy I keep coming back to with the current progress in LLMs is the progress in the 90s of 3D game engines.

Every upgrade made what came before it appear awful in comparison, to such an extent that every upgrade was called "photorealistic" and people kept forgetting that they'd been using that description for the previous engines that they were now dismissing.

That’s a rather bad faith framing, I think. Who are you to judge why I said something?
