> But we went past that very rapidly, and for the past half a year or so, we've already seen models excelling at every single task listed above simultaneously. Same architecture, same basic training approach, few extra modalities, ever growing capabilities.
With due deference to the title of the top-level post, I'm tempted to call bullshit unless your claim can be justified.
Just because a single model can do a handful of things you've listed doesn't mean that its capabilities are not "jagged"; you've just cherry-picked a few things it can do among the countless things it cannot yet. If AI really were so good at every single task, then (for example) it wouldn't matter much how you prompt it.
PS: I really do want to debate this further and understand your perspective, so I will reach out for continuing discussion.
