AI development is going to slow down

https://community.openai.com/t/new-articles-are-saying-chat-gpt-5-not-coming-out-until-2025-this-is-way-too-long-as-4-refuses-at-coding-10s-of-thousands-of-lines/835858

ChatGPT went all in on increasing the amount of data to work with to boost the AI capabilities, but just like all other tech sectors, it seems pretty clear that we find diminishing returns with each doubling in the amount of data.

Currently we have reached that point where only trillion dollar companies are capable of building better and better AI fast.

General AI even now can regurgitate the best answers, but it hasn't shown the capacity to create something truly new, that comes with the randomness that emerges from biological evolution.

General AI is limited by the total knowledge of humanity being fed into it, beyond which it cannot grow no matter what. It is the world's smartest answering machine.

Will AI be able to replace humanity? No.

Will AI be able to make robotic equivalents to human labor? Yes.

Today, the most advanced AI in the world is Gemini by google.

It is taking the efforts of the 4th most valued company in the world to keep developing and upgrading AI further.

The current AI boom was a random discovery and it will slow down as fast as it rose up.

General AI will very likely peak at being 2-3 times smarter than the smartest human, then go no further.

This is because it cannot create anything new, it can only pattern match all the data that already exists out there.

Until and unless we give AI the ability to "mutate" like human DNA does, it will reach an upper limit and stagnate at that point.

Conclusion:

AI won't take over the world. It will be another tool to help humans create more things faster, and finish up all the current backlog of research projects.

Chat bots are a dead end. I don't get the hype.

why do you consider them a dead end?

What can they actually do? They're not at a quality level high enough for them to replace anything, and they can't meaningfully improve. They're text predictors, not knowledge aggregators.

AI art? AI movies? Anything where they can be used as an additional tool? Robot training?

Have you looked at AI art recently? It's pretty awful and only getting worse. Robo-training is and always has been a meme.

Its uses are like improving bad cgi in cheap movies and cheating on high school homework.

I disagree. It is improving in simulation side of things. It just isn't effective enough without a human operator for now beyond very simple tasks such as moving stacks of boxes.
