The thing about coming up with a new invention that's useful is, you don't have to keep convincing everyone that it's useful. There are things that it's good for and they are already being used for that. What we are seeing now is an attempt to force it into every nook and cranny to justify the massive wealth bubble that they have created out of it to prop up the economy so they don't lose money. Eventually they will have all their money in the right place and they will let the economy crash and let the common man take 100% of the blow.
I agree. I don't think we have to push people into using some truly revolutionary tech. Then it would not be revolutionary.
The thing that frustrates me most about AI is that the companies that use AI in their software have ZERO creativity. A lot of applications and operating systems could have had AI in a lot of very narrow usecases. Everything from suggesting which command you should complete in the terminal, to where you should put your file for good organization.
I do know that AI is becoming synonymous with LLMs, and ML would be better for many usecases. The difference is that using LLMs is super easy for it, even if not as good.
Instead, we have this ridiculous thing in which we're supposed to remove the human part. That goes for art, music, and writing text. I think it's quite disrespectful to send messages to family, friends and colleagues that are written by AI, with few exceptions.
