Real big if. There's reason to believe that current models aren't going to get much better. They've eaten all the training data they possibly can. Improving with further training takes exponentially more power to get a small improvement. We're talking about new nuclear reactors because that's what they need to get anywhere, but it's still not going to improve by much.
The field needs a new model that can get better results on less data and less training. Then we wouldn't need those nukes. It doesn't appear we'll get much better any other way.
New architechtures are in development and many have already been released. Learn something about the subject before spewing shite
You sound like the people who assured me that I needed to understand NFTs or I'd get left behind. Actually, were you one of them?
No he's right, AI news is out of date nearly as quickly as it's written, I've never seen a faster moving piece of tech.
I don't doubt that's true, but I was more commenting on the cult-like tone of the responses.
True, your original post made me think of:

China is catching up extremely quickly to the west
By 2026 we might have to recheck all those doomsday "AI is going to use all the energy in the world" articles
edit: I just realised I'm commenting on one of those "AI is going to use all the energy in the world" articles :|
