Hello readers, this post is going to be bit short.
I am currently on a vacation. So while I have a great time off from work, I seem to have much more time to read a lot.
I’m currently reading the Pulitzer-winning book INVISIBLE CHILD: Poverty, Survival and Hope in an American City by Andrea Elliott (link) and updating myself on AI and Tech events.
While I may not be able to write essays in the coming few weeks, I will keep on sharing articles from Substack every now and then for my readers that I feel is worthy and credible.
I haven’t done On my Feeds post for a while now, so here it is for this week’s issue.

Or rather, while Large Language Models like ChatGPT are obviously amazing achievements of software engineering, they don’t act like software should…

Why A.I. can't create Unique Fiction?

AI is progressing fastly. While many AI experts believe that AGI won’t be possible in the coming few years or so as the ‘wall’ is near. I am a bit sceptical because the improvements in AI have been very rapid in the past few years (or months even). Maybe we won't get closer to AGI any time soon, development in other fields of AI will continue to happen …
