The problem with most of these GPT-4 experiments is because of the buzz around AI it's much more advantageous for a company to build their userbase on hype rather than efficacy. Everyone has FOMO and wants to be part of the infinite passive income game so whoever promises that with the greatest apparent clarity will win out in the end. Fake it until you make it (and by make it I mean that GPT-5 is released and automatically eases all the bottlenecks via just being a lot smarter)
agree. i do believe authors of those experimental projects do not intent to create such buzz, it is just too many shitinfluencers pushing the projects in that way.
Strikes me that some sort of inflection point has been reached in terms of buzz, hype, desperateness to make money and get out of the rat race, snake oil, etc.
We literally watched crypto/web3 do the entire speed run from weird nerd project to spam/ponzi/get rich quick/celebrity/vaporware shell game in a couple years. Like All The Way to stadiums being bought and international manhunts and average people losing lots of money with something they didn't understand to most people being annoyed by bots and influencers to virtually 0% of projects having any other purpose but to generate hype
(with actual ongoing interesting tech being built underneath it)
the fact that autogpt in One Week went from AI experiment to "why doesn't this ship money to my bank account or what is github I'm here for the free money" based on youtube videos and spam articles etc really does note bode well for the hype phase of AI
