Hopefully sooner, I’m ready to be done with all this AI shit

It’s not disappearing when the bubble pops. Investors just won’t throw money at it like crazy anymore. It’ll be like the dot com bubble. The internet is still around

The difference is that the internet is actually useful. GenAI is proving to be worse for productivity, produces an inferior result, and fundamentally can never be profitable for the companies that make it.

That’s just the current iteration of it. It seems to be developing at an impressive speed. I agree with the profitability concerns though. Depends on whether investors are willing to keep throwing money at it until it makes a profit. Twitter and Amazon weren’t profitable for years

GenAI has shown to be very useful in drug discovery and protein folding research, for example

We both know that’s not the same thing…

Can you elaborate?

Medical researchers develop their own models for their specific purposes. Equating it with stuff like chatGPT is a lie. This research has been going on long before any of us knew the words “generative AI”

I never equated it to ChatGPT. Doing so would be silly. If you want to refer to ChatGPT, say “LLM”, not “gen AI”

It won’t disappear, but it won’t be shoved in our faces any more. It’ll find actual good and practical uses.

No such uses exist. It’s literally a tool without a use, which is why the companies that sell it are desperate trying to force it into everything

It absolutely has practical applications, and more will emerge as the technology develops. We just don’t know what they are yet, which is why tech companies are throwing it at everything and hoping something sticks
