It learns, sure... and it's already learned as much as it can from the entire internet, and still can't run a Taco Bell drivethrough.

Apparently in the AI world, they are expecting it’s capabilities to double every 7 months. I saw a list of steps

Yeah, and in the cryptocurrency world, they predicted that Bitcoin would currently be worth $200k - $300k, potentially as high as 400k - 1mil in high-greed environments.

Instead, it is almost exactly at the value of their "Bitcoin Dead" level lol

I would give less credence to the opinions of people whose financial interests are vested in you believing AI is magic.

It’s learning the basics right now, but humans are training the AI to the point that it will replace them, then the next level of humans will train the next level until replaces them

Humans are more than just chatbots. Therefore even the most advanced chatbot will never replace us.

Which is not to say that I think humans are the supreme possible intelligence, or that machine intelligence could never surpass us. I just do not believe that the current LLM's we have are capable of achieving anything resembling actual thought, just a decently convincing mimicry of it.

It's also not to say that I think no jobs will be lost, but I think they'll be situations like where a QA department reduces its workforce by 75% but then the remaining 25% are still expected to oversee the AI's output. It's still a shit outcome economically (though I'd also reference that quote, "Imagine how badly we had to fuck up to create a world where the robots taking all the jobs is a bad thing"), but it's not the same as actually rivaling us in cognition or intellectual capacity.

In a few years, well all be replaced, except a lucky few who do the maintenance

And a few years before 2016, everyone who bought Bitcoin was going to be driving a Lamborghini.

I still see more Priuses and Corollas on the road these days.
