AI is not gonna leave. "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime" is a say that have aged like milk.

It will eventually, when people realize it's just a giant and complex statistical response machine. It's really just giving you the words and/or set of pixels back that are the usual response to the words you provided. If there was no training data, there would be no AI.

It's like a parrot, but more complex and requires nuclear power plants to generate enough power to keep it going.

I have people on my team who use AI in their daily work, they describe it as like a "mirror" you can use to feed your ideas into and reshape or analyze in new ways. It doesn't have any reasoning or thinking capability outside of what you type into it.

I am really critical of generative AI being used as a substitute for actual work, that's where it tends to fail miserably. I cannot stand people who let AI do their writing or graphical projects for them, but I have no issue with people using it to help them complete a project with references, ideas and suggestions. Just don't let it do the work, because it is, by definition, an "averaging machine" so that everything it outputs is supremely... average.

They're trying to make movie AI in the stupidest way possible. unless it's writing itself then it's not even AI

NFT, AI, "the blockchain", 3D TVs, SaaS... I know I'm forgetting some more tech trends that have been annoying from start to finish in the past ten or twenty years.

(Sadly SaaS seems to be doing OK right now, and I suspect our Windows friends are not too far from OSaaS)

The main difference is that crypto/NFTs actually exist and work as advertised while "AI" doesn't exist.

It's pretty incredible to see people be so critical of crypto/NFTs while pumping phony "AI" hype at the same time.
