Probably there is a lower ceiling in text generation to things that are considered “progress” by everyone. People can verbalize exactly what is wrong with pictures and video, but for text, if it is coherent and gets the point across what is progress beyond passing the Turing test?
the tools and models will get a lot better, but more importantly the end products that succeed will make measured, judicious use of AI.
there always has been slop, and people will always misuse tools and create abominations, but the heights of greatness that are possible are increasing with AI, not decreasing
I’m not even steeped in the depths of it. I’ve got friends who are using MCP and agents that can modify files on their own and work through problems over time and self-learn on your existing code, etc.
It’s crazy and makes my head spin. Many of them were super skeptical early on but the tools that are being developed are absolutely BONKERS.
Have you seen how far it’s come in just a few short months though? It’s incredible the pace they’ve been achieving.
Yeah it’s actually gotten scary how fast it’s been progressing. Even this post is outdated, the hand issues haven’t been a problem in a while
I feel like on image/video generation, I can agree that the recent months have shown a lot of progress.
I’m not so much feeling it on the text generation front, it’s felt about the same to me for a while here, notably impressive, but still a bit… off…

yeah, I think the OP’s take is really naive
