Human hubris doesn’t mean that ai as a field is useless. I hate what it’s doing to culture don’t get me wrong but I’m not sure it’s a bubble, it’s extremely useful for many fields

That was also true of the internet. Something can be extremely useful and still have a bubble form around it for being overvalued and overused, especially when companies don’t have a long term plan to make money even if the product is useful

Yeah I mean I totally agree, maybe I’m just misinterpreting people who seemed to be saying it was totally useless and weren’t actually saying that
