His stupid leather jacket and techbro bait ‘’‘‘charisma’’‘’ were doing a fair bit of heavy lifting in terms of people being duped into believing AI is worth jack shit.
I’d say that AI can be useful, but not necessarily in the way it’s being marketed and possibly not profitably so for most anyone who’s not selling the hardware it runs on…
Exactly. Three years ago when funding intensified the promise was AGI. Now that it’s been made clear we’re not moving past really powerful LLMs anytime soon the gap between the promise and what was delivered needs to be corrected.
May I introduce the dot-com bubble? That whole internet company thing sure turned out to be useless fad, huh?
Just like back then, people don’t really yet know what AI is useful for, or what it can actually in its current and the near future form do, but they are throwing it against the wall to see what stick because if someone manages to find the winning formula first, they’ll be unbelievably rich. See, this small book store called “Cadabra” - you may know it better by their current name: Amazon. Or a silly side project of a General Magic employee everyone said was stupid and useless, Ebay.
AI will be over hyped, over used, the bubble will burst, and we’ll be left with the ones that actually made a lick of sense from usability and cost standpoint.

So I’m actively hoping this fool’s errand ends.
If AI was worthless there wouldn’t be headlines about it. Is it overhyped? Yes. Is it useless? Far from it.

Why reason with it?
If it was useful it wouldn’t need the incessant hype. It would sell itself.

Oh yeah? What bout toothpaste then? Youre just here astroturfing for that 10th dentist
Regardless of what it is, it’s not worth the cost.
