There’s hardly any application that’s more than a gimmick. ChatGPT is an incompetent liar, Sora and all the image/video generators produce mediocre crap the can’t reasonably controlled, chat bots keep making up stuff, etc. etc.
This tech is done. Why do you think there’s no progress from openai? The tech hit a ceiling. LLMs scaled to their current state very quickly, but each increment used exponentially more compute. There’s not enough compute, not enough training data to get better.
I’m pretty sure, you don’t understand how models work. It’s just magic for you. Just like blockchains, NFTs and VR. None of them changed the world in any meaningful way - just scams.
AI companies very fundamentally don’t make money, and have no way to become profitable in the near future. None of their tech has any business model. OpenAI relies 100% on Microsoft essentially donating azure instances.
Sure, AI has its applications, but not hundreds of billions worth of applications.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
I don’t normally do this but lets look at what you wrote in parts.
There’s hardly any application that’s more than a gimmick.
This tech has already irreversibly changed coding, graphic design, marketing, writing, education,…
ChatGPT is an incompetent liar
Its not. Its pretty competent for a technology launched less than 2 years ago. Its the most competent piece of tech by far. (Launched less than 2 years ago) Its not a liar, its hallucinating, which is a big topic of development of this new technology.
Sora and all the image/video generators produce mediocre crap the can’t reasonably controlled
Sora is not even publicly released yet, so I don’t think its fair to criticize. Image generators have already revolutionized graphic design, marketing, art, …
This tech is done.
This tech has barely started.
Why do you think there’s no progress from openai?
There are so many news about AI advancement weakly that I have no idea what you are talking about.
The tech hit a ceiling. LLMs scaled to their current state very quickly, but each increment used exponentially more compute. There’s not enough compute, not enough training data to get better.
Says who? A few influencers?
You think companies would be investing hundreds of billions if there is nothing there? Its not only about throwing things in a pot and stirring, there are different ways of organizing the training data. There is synthetic data. There is so much data in the world we will never be out of it.
I’m pretty sure, you don’t understand how models work.
You would be wrong, as I work in AI research. To be frank I don’t work as an llm researcher, but Im close enough to have picked up a few things.
None of them changed the world in any meaningful way - just scams.
AI already changed the world.
AI companies very fundamentally don’t make money, and have no way to become profitable in the near future. None of their tech has any business model. OpenAI relies 100% on Microsoft essentially donating azure instances.
First thing you said that’s actually correct, but I don’t know how that matters to your point.
Sure, AI has its applications, but not hundreds of billions worth of applications.
So it does have applications? I thought it was all scams, lies and mediocre crap,…
Show me a single product that is even close to being worth the investment.
How can openAI ever recoup all the money?
This tech has already irreversibly changed coding, graphic design, marketing, writing, education,…
Where? Writing boilerplate articles without content for dying news outlets? “Coding” hardly changed. You know why? Because typing code is by far the least time consuming part of the work.
And where are all those great graphic design products? You mean those cool images of Trump riding a laser velociraptor?
You think companies would be investing hundreds of billions if there is nothing there?
Yes. Also, Metaverse, blockchain, etc. Ever heard of the dotcom bubble? Same pattern.
You would be wrong, as I work in AI research.
Hard doubt. Because the number one virtue of a scientist is to know the limitations of their subject. So either you’re not actually a researcher, or a really bad one.
You know very well that’s not true as you have contradicted yourself a few times already.
Show me a single product that is even close to being worth the investment.
Are we talking about money now? I thought we were talking about how its all a scam that’s harming humanity.
Where?
Coding, writing, marketing, graphic design, …
Writing boilerplate articles without content for dying news outlets?
Cant you see stuff you are saying? Thats really emotional stuff, its clouding your rationale.
And where are all those great graphic design products? You mean those cool images of Trump riding a laser velociraptor?
Yes, that as well. But mainly small tasks that used to be menial and now they are practically gone. Ideas, retouching, photo manipulations,…
Yes. Also, Metaverse, blockchain, etc. Ever heard of the dotcom bubble? Same pattern.
Thats pretty naive. Dotcom bubble has nothing to do with it. A completely different thing.
Hard doubt. Because the number one virtue of a scientist is to know the limitations of their subject. So either you’re not actually a researcher, or a really bad one.
I don’t care. Plus I already said I’m not a researcher. I work at a company that does ai research.
You are so emotionally charged. I don’t know if its only your hate of AI, or if you want to somehow win over me in this conversation. Its pointless. AI already helps a lot of people in an incredible amount of ways. Some of them were mentioned in the comments. Its not serious to call them scams and I don’t know what else you said. Its not serious.
I think its better to end this exchange. I must say I like talking to people with different views, but it has to be in good faith and I don’t see that here with all the generalizations.
Then where is it?
