But with OpenAI, [Sam Altman] told me, "there's something real happening here".

This sentience strikes me because it's a tacit admission that AI as it stands is way less valuable than people like Altman promised it would be. But trust me bro.

It also jumped out at me too cause it was literally the opposite of the most true thing about AI.

Sure, you can argue that it helps and that improves productivity in some niche use cases, but by definition, there isn’t anything real there. It’s an empty husk that has been contorted to echo user prompts based on past Q&A.

It’s literally like calling a foot print something real cause you can reconstruct some of the foot.
