- In Feb 2024, AI critic Ed Zitron claimed we had reached the peak of what generative AI can do and how accurate its outputs can be.
- At the time, the best models were only GPT-4 Turbo, Gemini 1.0 Ultra / 1.5 Pro, and Claude 2.1.
- Two years of rapid model progress later, the tweet is being resurfaced as a classic wrong "AI plateau" call.
