Some quotes from a day ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48957779:

> I hold my stance that LLMs are stochastic parrots... Making the parrots ever more complex and training

> Except solving problem is probably the least (even though it's important) interesting thing in research.

> Can we use AI to get a cure for cancer yet? Or is math-turbation the only thing these things are good for?

> Train on enough examples and statistical autocomplete gets you places. I'm surprised how anyone would even consider this intelligence?

And, as much as HN has declined in the grips of an anti-AI psychosis, Reddit is worse. I would love if social fora would switch to the reasonable claim that we're in a bubble; that's something that can be debated. That's not the dominant critique of AI, though.
