    By the time AI becomes truly intelligent, there may be specialized chips that are efficient at running models that blow GPUs out of the water.

    Truly intelligent? What?

      I wouldn’t call what we have now as true artificial intelligence. That doesn’t mean that we will not achieve it in the future.

        Personally, I don’t think we can characterize LLMs as “intelligent”, since they are statistical machines.

        But given that most experts don’t even agree on what intelligence is, I don’t think we’ll ever reach a point where AI could be called “intelligent” anyway.
