IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs

"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.
Jesus Christ, when even IBM, the father of computing, says "AI is not gonna give you infinite money", you KNOW the technology is doomed. Altho I'm more inclined to believe the AI CEOs will be like "shut up boomer we're gonna be trillionaires and you won't be!!"
Well, good luck with that once the investors realize you're selling snake oil!
I really don't understand why lemmy hates ai so much. I get massive productivity gains every day from AI. I agree with this exec that we probably won't hit AGI using current tech or maybe ever, but we still have:
How this translates to profit is unclear since there is a race to the bottom, companies are choosing to give away the tech to gain market share rn, but the technology is undeniably useful, and already rolled out inside of every major tech company
I really don't understand why lemmy hates technology which regurgitates slop based on data stolen from creators against their will, erodes trust, degrades mental health, wreaks havoc on the labor force, destroys the environment, and temporarily enriches a handful of fake billionaires with fake money…gosh I just don't understand!
