The energy consumption of queries to such models crosses out their whole concept of mass and easy accessibility.

I still can't access ChatGPT in a normal search engine in any browser, without any "paid subscription".

This speaks of reality - all this is a priori unprofitable with free access.

The future of AI tools is not to difficult to guess.
Western governments will pass law to forbid citizens to use AI tools.
And at the same time, the same governments and their minions (journalist + mainstream media) will declare a monopoly on it to generate fake news 24/7, in order to manipulate the sheeps-citizens.

Plot twist: This article is written using ChatGPT

This damn wave of layoffs in IT. I hope Keith is okay.

What is today's date? However, the basic concept of replacing human input by pure AI self-learning has been successful in the past when moving from AlphaGo (relying on learning from human games) to AlphaGoZero (only learning from self-played games). A similar transition can be expected for chat AIs, except that such lacks mankind's ethics. Would AI create ethics on its own?

for a game, the only necessary input are the rules. For chat, there must be some input of human language "rules". Beyond that, chat contents may have been learned from human interaction but, in the near future, might be learned from AI chatting with itself.

Hence the April joke has meaning or spirit that may soon become reality. Not by replacing one monkey but soon by replacing m/billions of training test users.
