If you think “bullet” is the cool new name for “arrow” then sure.

Decision models can perform zero-shot classification over almost unlimited text-input domains. This was science fiction decades ago.

A coin flip can make infinite decisions on all possible input taxonomies.

Zero-shot is indeed very cool. And it's super useful/useful for the developer masses that don't know, care, or work pressures don't allow, for proper evaluation and calibration.

But it would be good that we don't over-hype these things.

A biased coin flip with accuracy on my domain is what I all care.
