Comparing ELIZA to GPT because it's not quite there yet is like comparing horse carriages to autonomous cars because they still have accidents. People have already found actual real-world uses for GPT, meanwhile ELIZA's most popular use-case is an obscure feature in Emacs.
Regarding the questionable training data I agree, but the likely outcome is that those AI models will be used regardless.
We’ve been here before. ChatGPT isn’t functionally all that different from ELIZA from the 1960s. It’s tricking people just the same, into thinking it’s more than it really is.
I’m also eagerly awaiting the discovery process that will show that all of this generative AI was built on mass copyright infringement. OpenAI certainly ingested the entire z-library. They’d have to be stupid not to, right? If they didn’t use it, less ethical competitors would have beaten them to market.
Oh, I’m sure they used some sketchy subcontractor to do it. We’ve all seen a variation of this in our careers, where a dataset was acquired under questionable circumstances, and you don’t ask and don’t tell if you want to keep your job, right?
And that’s just speculation. There’s hard evidence for the Getty Images lawsuit.
