Smarter how? Synthetic benchmarks?

Because I've heard the opposite from users and bloggers.

    So you want me to provide some evidence that it's getting smarter, but you can't provide any that it's getting worse other than anecdotal evidence?

    What evidence would you accept?

    What does "architecture" mean in this scenario?

    Any significant shift in the model, or a complete restructuralization of the approach.

    As it is, it won't grow anywhere.

    No, if there was any major breakthrough, it would be advertised everywhere.

    No, they are spreading lies about shit that doesn't matter as to not lose the hype.

    If anyone made any significant advance, they would be all over the world.

    You’re not backing this up with anything. Those of us who use them know they’ve been making big updates regularly.
