But trust me in the next 6 months ai driving through snow will be 100% ready.
I’ll believe it when I see Waymo expand into Buffalo or Syracuse.
Driving on unplowed roads with several inches of snow is challenging, sometimes you can’t tell where the road stops and the curb/ditch/median starts. Do you follow the tire tracks or somehow stay between the lane markers (which aren’t visible due to the snow)?
"I am not sure that AI will ever be able to do XYZ given how hard of a problem it is."
Proves to be incorrect in the long run.
It took 10-15 years to get self driving cars in a specific country under specific weather conditions. A country that is perhaps the most car-friendly on the planet. Also, there are always people monitoring the vehicles, and that take control sometimes.
How many more years for waymo Quito or waymo Kolkata? What about just $europeanCapital?
Same with LLMs, I'm sure in 10 years they'll be good enough to replace certain specific tasks, to the detriment of recent graduates, especially those of artistic aspiration. Not sure they'll ever get to the point where someone who actually knows what they're doing doesn't need to supervise and correct.
10 years later we now have self driving cars. It’s the same shit with LLMs.
People will be bitching and complaining about how all the industry people are wrong and making over optimistic estimates and the people will be right. But give it 10 years and see what happens.
