    You’ve worked in ML since 2012 but dont think transformers have had an absolutely insane impact, for example in NLP and machine translation? (I have worked in those fields longer than that and while I dont think AGI or anything like that is coming from transformers and deep neural nets I think you are full of it if you dont admit they have revolutionized a large number of [highly technical] fields).

      I think you read way more into their comment than was written. They said nothing about transformers, only that these assistants are shit. Which, let’s admit, they are.

      The underlying technology is cool, current implementations are trash and have no long term economical path to viability unless things radically change quickly.
