Part 2/8:
Zion starts by acknowledging the intrigue surrounding AI developments like ChatGPT and large language models. He mentions that while these technologies represent a significant leap forward, they should not be conflated with human-like conscious thinking. The current models operate based on targeted randomness rather than genuine understanding, often struggling to maintain coherence over extended conversations.
Despite the limitations, AI technologies are making strides in organizing information more effectively than traditional search engines. There's promise, especially in areas such as data management, genetics, and associated research fields. However, Zion underscores that mainstream application of the technology is still distant up ahead.
