๐ค Horse Theory: AI Progress is Gradual, But Breakthroughs in Human-Equivalent Capabilities are Sudden

Why this matters: This perspective challenges our conventional understanding of AI development and provides important reference value for independent developers in understanding AI capability boundaries and product planning
My Analysis: The author uses the historical analogy of horses being replaced by automobiles to explain AI development patterns, and I find this angle quite novel. He argues that AI capability improvement is gradual, but when it reaches a certain threshold, the replacement of human work happens suddenly. To be honest, this reminds me of the recent jump from GPT-4 to o1, which indeed had that 'suddenly able to do complex reasoning' feeling. However, I have slight reservations about the 'suddenness' characterization - perhaps 'non-linear acceleration' would be more accurate
Action Recommendations: Suggest monitoring: This thinking framework can help us better judge the maturity and application timing of AI tools, avoiding entering the market too early or too late
