Anthropic's Andrej Karpathy says "the external world has seen the preview" of what AI can actually do

Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, describes a rapidly widening gap in how people understand AI capabilities. While the public treats chatbots like a better Google search, internal frontier systems are already tackling tasks that would take top experts years to complete. Karpathy breaks down the user base of large language models into four levels. About six billion people, roughly 75 percent of the global population, have barely come in contact with LLMs at all. Another one to two billion are casual users of free-tier ChatGPT-like products who treat them "a bit like a better Google search, a writing aid, or etc." Even many professionals outside of math and code fall into this tier.
