Your last paragraph weakens the argument that you’re making.

Driving assistance and the progress made there and large language models and the progress made there are absolutely incomparable.

The general public’s hype in driving assistance is fueled mostly by the hype surrounding one car maker and its figurehead and it’s a hype that’s been fueled for a few years and become accepted in the public, reflected in the stock price of that car maker.

Large language models have not yet perpetrated the public’s memory yet, and, what’s actually the point is that inside of language you can find our human culture. And inside a large language model you have essentially the English language with its embeddings. It is real, it is big, it is powerful, it is respectable research.

There’s nothing in driving assistance that can be compared to LLMs. They don’t have an embedding of the entire physical surface of planet earth or understanding of driving physics. They’re nothing.
