I call bullshit. No prompts, no nothing, just the finished product and a few claims.

Almost 200 comments and Ctrl-F "repro" is zero.

Also let me be straight: I am full-on believer in AI. But not in Midjourney, DALL•E 3 and GPT-4 (or other LLMs) - these are not real AI, just VP hype cycle artifacts.



What is "real" AI to you? And if a lot of people derive real value out of this new wave of gen AI, but you don't, does that say more about gen AI or more about you?


> What is "real" AI to you?

An AI able to reason, obviously. Ideally able to reason better than human - and be able to explain the universe better than humans did so far. So don't feed me hallucinating LLM stupidity.

Good question! I'd say, given the state of things, that it says more about people.

Did you read beyond the first tweet?


There are 6 tweets in the thread: announcement, link to the game, introduction, graphics, programming, conclusion.

These tweets do not describe the exact and specific steps to reproduce the complete result. They only provide rough and obvious (for anyone ever interacted with GPT) advice, as is par for the course for AI hyping.

This:

> And from there, keep asking for more and more things. And every time something goes wrong, clearly explain the mistake and let it fix it. Patience!

Is pathetic, and proves exactly nothing.

Yep, I did not do that all the times I tried to actually see why GPT4 is so popular, thanks a lot for advice!
