I'm pretty sure AI is objectively smarter today than it was 5 years ago.
There's better integration with all sorts of other sources of truth beyond the LLM training, which makes it seem smarter.
How can something with no intelligence be smarter?
Since LLMs literally can't learn, no. They're just increasingly tweaked to seem even more convincing.
This is true, depending on what you mean by smarter. They are undeniably more capable. However, the trendy, cool things is to hate on AI, rejecting all else. Sure, capitalism sucks, and the powerful rich people and companies who control AI suck. AI itself, though, can very easily result in massive benefits for humanity as a whole.
More capable doesnt mean its smarter. A hammer can be made to be more capable but that doesn't make it smart.
