I’d argue it has. Things like ChatGPT shouldn’t be possible, maybe it’s unpopular to admit it but as someone who has been programming for over a decade, it’s amazing that LLMs and “AI” has come as far as it has over the past 5 years.
That doesn’t mean we have AGI of course, and we may never have AGI, but it’s really impressive what has been done so far IMO.
If you’ve been paying attention to the field, you’d see it’s been a slow steady march. The technology that LLMs are based in were first published in 2016/2017, ChatGPT was the third iteration of the same base model.
Thats not even accounting for all the work done with RNNs and LSTMs prior to that, and even more prior.
Its definitely a major breakthrough, and very similar to what CNNs did for computer vision further back. But like computer vision, advancements have been made in other areas (like the generative space) and haven’t followed a linear path of progress.

Agreed. I never thought it would happen in my lifetime, but it looks like we’re going to have Star Trek computers pretty soon.
