It's not name calling, it's a description. He is actively selling tech he doesn't fully understand, that is fundamentally not capable of doing what he is selling it to do. LLM's have a place, they have for decades at this point, but they are not intelligent, not in the way he goes out of his way to evoke with what he says, and certainly not in the way his audiences believe. I don't know enough to have a proper opinion on whether true AI is possible; I have to assume it is. But nothing OpenAI has shown is that, or has the potential to be that, nor is it worth anything near 150 billion dollars. It's an overvaluation among overvaluated companies making up an overvaluated industry and when it goes, not if,
when, it will have ramifications throughout our industry.
I'm sure it won't though for Mr. Altman. He's done a fantastic job failing-up so far and I have no reason to assume this will be any different.
