DeepMind’s cofounder: Generative AI is just a phase. What’s next is interactive AI.::DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman wants to build a chatbot that does a whole lot more than chat. In a recent conversation I had with him, he told me that generative AI is just a phase. What’s next is interactive AI: bots that can carry out tasks you set for them by calling on other software…
Fair enough but it just seems like a fluffy distinction.
And I don’t think they “tweak the algorithm” so much as generate a load more training data of that one specific task to get it up to spec.

As I said, my example wasn’t the best one, but you’re right that based on it humans can be judged badly too
