Every week there’s a better AI model that gives better answers. But a lot
of questions don’t have better answers, only ‘right’ answers, and these
models can’t do that. So what does ‘better’ mean, how do we manage these
things, and should we change what we expect from computers?
A quarter century after ‘don't be evil’ a judge has found that Google is
abusing its monopoly in search. But no-one knows what happens next, and
whether this ruling will change anything. Will Apple build a search engine?
Will ChatGPT change search? Does it matter?
Hundreds of millions of people have tried ChatGPT, but most of them haven’t
been back. Every big company has done a pilot, but far fewer are in
deployment. Some of this is just a matter of time. But LLMs might also be a
trap: they look like products and they look magic, but they aren’t. Maybe
we have to go through the slow, boring hunt for product-market fit after
all.
