Meanwhile, in the real world, generative A.I. continues to improve at an exponential rate.
The improvement is not exponential. It's just slowly getting better.
It's following a breakthrough then slow refinement curve. Not an exponential one. Although there will certainly be breakthroughs in the future, followed by more "refinement" periods.
Current iterations of ChatGPT for example, aren't otherworldly better than what we had 1-2 years ago.
Generative AI includes multi-modal, audio, video, code, etc. From where I'm sitting it's still exponential.
