I am really , really torn about current level of "AI" and its level of sophistication.
so I use(d) ChatGPT, claude, Gemini and deepseek as my personal coders for a unity3d project I am working on. and even though it can lead to hours of re-writing / re-debugging of code the ai wrote and simply forgot , overall it helped me create stuff I personally would never have finished in the same amount of time.
but that to me, is to be expected. feed it millions and millions of lines of code that is properly documented, and it will probably know how to throw together something similar. (thats how it feels to me)
ai also helps me in distilling information from large texts , summarizing emailthreads. all fine. its a hit & miss sometimes to distinguish between whats important and whats not, but thats a human thing as well so I can forgive that.
but apart from that: where is this real next level of "intellect" people seem to be so super excited about ?
I tested 5 different models with a 8 letter wordle puzzle.
overall theme: cryptocurrency.
length: 8 letters.
known letters: a, e, e, n, c
the third letter is a c.
and NONE could solve it. none.
I am by no means super smart and english is not my main language. but I opened up a wki page about crypto and the solution was right there.
so is it the way I use those models or am I missing something ? is it me ? or is this all there is ?
hype and hopes and billions of dollars for this ??? it has to be me, right ?
