Some of the folks who've dabbled with AI over the past few years appear to be missing how far it's come in that time. ChatGPT is leaps and bounds better than it was when I first started using it.Like you said with the hands as one common refrain I still hear, but have you asked DALL-E to create a photorealistic closeup image of hands lately?? Pretty incredible. Better than 99% of the students in art of human anatomy classes.Another one, web browsing. ChatGPT has gotten so much better at conducting online research and providing source links. It did not used to do that.Or how about math? Remember when it really did struggle with word problems and basic arithmetic? Yeah, those days are gone. Now when you ask it a math problem, it returns the correct result and the python it used to compute the calculation!I've always been fascinated by the tendency to characterize AI by its current failings without reasonable regard for what it CAN do or the trajectory it's on. Like, the fact that it can write almost flawless code snippets now or write a pretty good novella in 10 seconds but, yes, still makes a few mistakes you'll have to edit or rerun, means that it's total garbage? Really? Why not something like, "This is quite impressive, still flawed, but clearly advancing at a blistering pace"?</blockquote>
