"The fact that people are unimpressed that we can have a fluent conversation with a super smart AI that can generate any image/video is mindblowing to me,"
Mindblowing is that companies make all the claims about AI that are 100% unfounded. "generate any image/video"... No it can't. "fluent conversation"... Unless I have to constantly remind it about the thing it said two prompts ago that it forgot. And I PAY for AI access.
It's not anywhere near impressive. It's a party trick at best and dangerously misleading at worst.
The Current Policies Scenario model assumes all policies globally are frozen at their current state, then projects from there. It's not realistic, and not worthy of a lot of upset.
