    I’m not convinced that investors would know the difference between a company trying to improve llms vs taking a new approach. So I don’t think it will stifle investment in other forms of AI research.

    I also don’t think they are a dead end overall. They sure aren’t likely to get to agi, but you don’t need agi to be useful.

      You have to convince investors why your AI research won’t hit a wall like LLMs are now - they’ve poisoned the term “AI”

      They’re a dead end, insofar as they do all they’ll ever be able to; if you can find use for them at their current level, great, but it does not look likely they will be able to do more than they currently can
