I’m excited for people to get good at building tools to help with open-ended tasks that feel a bit more like “wisdom,” I think elicit is a step in that direction. I’m also excited about getting better at applying ML to tasks where we don’t really have datasets / eventually where the goal is to aim for superhuman performance, and I think elicit will grow into a good test case for that (and is to some extent right now).
I basically think the main question is whether they are / will be able to make an excellent product that helps people significantly (and then whether they are able to keep scaling that up).
What’s your take on Elicit?
