- Praise: The models are getting better at a fast clip, showing measurable and impressive progress in just five months — it's a clear sign that AI's capabilities are evolving rapidly.
- Praise: LLMs are like search engines on steroids, acting as a research librarian that opens up vast oceans of human knowledge, vastly expanding our intellectual reach.
- Concern: There's a concerning trend of dismissing these models as 'glorified autocomplete' — it shows a lack of understanding of their true capabilities and the advancements being made.
- Concern: The filtering in Fable downgrades useful inquiries, indicating that useful knowledge might be unnecessarily restricted, which could stifle innovation in important fields.
