Seeing how completely crazy people across vast swathes of society have gone for AI/LLMs has significantly downgraded my opinion of other people, which was already pretty low.
You don’t have to have a wide knowledge base to figure out these things hallucinate constantly if you ask them anything that isn’t super easy to find yourself on a search engine—and if you can do that, why bother with LLM? And yet I still (with horror) see some people say that they ‘learn’ things from it and that it’s their favorite way to ‘learn’! If you aren’t constantly fact checking you’re doing the digital equivalent of casting bones to see what it says.
Wearable tech and VR do make some sense. NFT is not eco-friendly cuz based on blockchain. 3D? Idk it’s just for fun I guess. But at least it’s not consuming the power of a small country to run the servers
It really seems overblown to me. Maximum hype with minimum actual results delivered. Not saying it is useless, but I don’t think we’re going to see entire professions eliminated overnight as is being predicted.
I really think calling it “artificial intelligence” is a stretch. It’s guided pattern recognition which can do some flashy things but is not intelligence any more than parroting speech is.
Plenty of sizzle, very little beef. What will be the next flavor du jour?
I personally hope that all of this AI stuff will become a flop and disappear soon. It’s unreliable, not eco-friendly and dangerous for privacy
Seeing this comment upvoted so much gives me hope for humanity.

NFTs, wearable tech, VR, 3D, etc…
Beanie Babies, Pogs, Tulips…
