Summary:
- The article discusses the lack of modularity in generative AI systems, which means they cannot be meaningfully open or reliable.
- It argues that the current approach to generative AI, with its lack of modularity, is a technological dead end, as it leads to systems that are opaque, difficult to understand, and prone to unpredictable behavior.
- The author suggests that a more modular approach, where different components of the AI system can be independently developed and tested, would be a more reliable and transparent way to build generative AI systems.
