"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Not if it turns out that it is not economical to build and maintain that kind of roads. And this is exactly the assessment and why it is called a bubble.
And of course, like you can use "classical AI" to solve the traveling salesman problem, play chess, find optimized subway connections, or recognize speech and handwriting, there /might/ be some useful applikations for newer algorithms and GPUs. Though the main application is to produce textual slop, which has little value.
For example, Linus Torvalds thinks AI might in future possibly help to find some bugs in human-written computer software. That could make its value similar to address sanitizer or valgrind. No, these two are not billion dollar companies.
