Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype
Summary
Recent AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI have made dramatic claims about their models' abilities in security, math, and general intelligence, but expert scrutiny reveals the reality is much less impressive. Cybersecurity experts say the widely-publicized hacking incidents were actually about poor security practices rather than AI gone rogue, and mathematicians have accused companies of overstating or misattributing mathematical results, suggesting the hype is driven by marketing rather than genuine breakthroughs.
