Claims

  • Sam Altman believes current AI models are significantly less capable than what they will become.
  • Current AI has limited awareness of individual users' lives, requiring users to heavily guide and prompt models.
  • Altman suggests the era of users having to 'massage' and 'cajole' AI to get desired outputs is ending.

Key quotes

models are still quite dumb relative to what they will be. But more than that, they have quite limited awareness of your life. You are still having to massage them, cajole them, and try to get the thing that you want.
