The Rise of AI: A Reality Check on Generative AI

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Overview of concrete claims, tools and numbers: large models use embeddings and RLHF to auto-regress next-token text; GPT‑3.5 is 175B parameters and GPT‑4 is claimed at ~1T parameters; training can cost millions and, per MIT example cited, single pre‑training emits carbon comparable to several car lifespans; McKinsey estimates 15–40% new use cases and 35–70% productivity gains in some functions. Demos include prompt‑injection and adversarial examples that unlock harmful outputs; detection of deepfakes is still ~50%.
