The cost of running large models increaasing the quality of the AI is called "functionalism".
This has been abandoned because AI researchers (and people who were screaming about the sky falling and poetry being destroyed) realized that these large models are NOT going to achive AGI.
Now they use smaller models with agency to achieve tasks, working together to try to achieve AGI (or a functional worker)
But even that is not going to work IMO.
Basically AI is just a big clippy. It's a handy tool. Its exactly the thing normal people like me, or ekco said who supported AI from day 1 thought it would be.
Its not anything like the poetry destroying satanic soul eating device the poor thought it would be.
It's not anything like the super intelligent worker replacement tool the rich thought it would be.
It's an excel spreadsheet. It's a word document. It's photoshop. It's nothing. It's just a computer application.
The end.
