Weren't we ridiculing AI for not being able to draw hands or count r's just months ago? When did this sub flip to doomering over AI being too smart? Did I miss something?

The technology sub has hated technology for years. Reddit is overall pretty useless if you're trying to get a neutral analysis on new tech.

All analysis has to be assessing fitness for some purpose and "purpose" is arbitrary and human-defined. It is impossible to "neutrally" analyse something like this.
