Its interesting that AI is so "mainstream" even though practically no-one wants it.
It's bad all-around at the moment. Simply not ready for use. People see and recognize that. Yet still... It's pushed into us. Why?
everyone knows, data harvesting
But it's going to be amazing! Incredible capabilities are just 6-12 months away!
Why all these products and implementations and spending can't wait for those capabilities to be real is beyond me.
There is potential. We all agree. There is something cool here. But not as a add-on in notepad, or to have an extra button on my keyboard, loose waaaay to much water and electricity to the servers etc etc...
Make it work well and have a an actual use case before pushing it so hard expecting everyone ELSE to find a use case all the while playing YOU for that "pleasure"
Not a single better idea in the tech industry.
most of them have betted on AI, not so much on innovation anymore.
I do not understand the Luddite view of ai. It is a tool. You can use a hammer to smash your finger or frame out a house. You can upgrade to an air nailer and work faster.
If people are too stupid to see what it is, they are going to just get left behind. When y'all old and whining how you don't understand how the world works and you're scared, this is why. It was a choice.
