What's the alternative? Is there literally any AI tech more promising and disruptive than LLMs? Or should we buy into that "it's not ackhtually AI" meme?

Visual reasoning models. Having a computer being able to understand what is happening in the real world is very useful.

		Those are LLMs with an extra modality bolted to them. Which is good - that it works this well speaks of the generality of autoregressive transformers, and the "reasoning over image data" progress with things like Qwen3-VL is very impressive. It's a good capability to have. But it's not a separate thing from the LLM breakthrough at all. Even the more specialized real time robotics AIs often have a bag of transformers backed by an actual LLM.

The alternative is to be f*cking honest

This contribution adds nothing to the conversation except gratuitous venom.

		I don't think that's fair; one of the most significant criticisms of the AI industry is the number of misleading claims made by its spokespeople, which has had a significant effect on public perception. The parent comment is a relevant expression of that.

		Well deserved and badly needed venom*

"Fucking honest" how?

If I'm being fucking honest, then this generation of LLMs might already beat most humans on raw intelligence, AI progress shows no signs of stopping, and "it's not actually thinking" is just another "AI effect" cope that humans come up with to feel more important and more exceptional.

Or is this not the "fucking honesty" you want?

		The more you talk, the more you're proving their point.
