Having actual uses doesn't make it not a fad. Like in the 50's where even your mom's toaster has to be atomic.

Look mom, our toast glow in the dark.

Yes honey. Now eat it.

Mmmm. It tastes really good mom. Thanks.

No ! It's thanks to our radium toaster, (look at the camera) you can too brighten the days (and night) of your children with atomic-toaster™ by the everything radioactive corp. Now only 5.99$

You lot would’ve said the same thing about self driving cars, crypto, NFTs, solar-freaking-roadways etc

People are so fucking sick of tech hype

Edit: how could I forget the metaverse! The f u t u r e

Edit2: sam altman of openAI fame, is literally a crypto grifter, he wanted to make GPT so he could ruin the internet and real life so he could force you to buy his stupid crypto coin

Yea, if only there were real world applications for AI. Like image/video generation and editing, text generation including code, audio processing and generation, object recognition and image classification, fraud detection, medical diagnosis, predictions in general, protein folding, or even just general data analysis. Then it might actually take off.

OpenGPT is just an LLM but that's only one small facet of AI. When people talk about AI and only mean LLMs or even one specific guy/company, it's a clear sign they don't know any more about AI than that one Vox article they read 2 months ago.

Yeah, I'm working at a company that traditionally makes digital signal processors for telecommunications, and even we're using AI for actual practical applications. The current project I'm working on is applying an object detection model to detect different signal types in 2D spectrograms. The old way takes like 15 minutes to scan and detect across a wide band. This technique is likely going to be an order of magnitude faster (at least based on preliminary results) and lower-power, as you only need to capture one set of samples, then let the computer vision do most of the rest. The old way to scan for signals required taking a bunch of RF samples, which was very wasteful of time and energy, but there wasn't really an alternative until now.

Anyhoo, all that to say I agree with you. It's crazy to equate AI's capabilities and potential to that of crypto.

Jesus you are dense

Why not get an AI to explain it to me then

all I can say is wait and see

This is yet again exactly what the NFT guys said

If you have any peer reviewed sources about brain wave whatever go ahead and drop them, but you’re doing all the same hype shit every other tech scam has done

So wait a minute, this 3 year old paper that isn’t related to the current crop of AI fad hype at all, and that’s supposed to sell me on das future? Also just going back to your original post I really appreciate “prediction in general” you can keep your AI astrologers lol

The NFT people said the exact same thing. The wright brothers did not sell people on the dream of the Boeing 707, they sold the wright model A, an actual product to an actual customer. You are not selling me the wright model A

AI is literally going to change everything. It's already started, don't you feel it?

No, and that’s exactly what the crypto, NFT, metaverse, self driving cars, solar roadways guys said. Show me

I’m not buying Sam Altmans fucking crypto coin

For most of the techbros using it, all it's gonna take is a new get rich quick scheme for them to jump ship.

Lol I work in cloud engineering. Servers, but not pure dev. I'm testing Copilot use with my work currently so I've been making use of this stuff.

Don't focus too much on the wording here, this is more referring to Gary buying 3 GPUs to make anime tiddies thinking he can sell them to some chumps.

Also the fact that engineers don't think they'll be able to stop their language models from straight up lying occasionally makes a chunk of use cases... concerning.

Basically, a lot of the current uses seem a bit crude and are being rushed market a bit too quickly.

You need to take all that text off and change it, so it says "gamers" because you fuckin wish crypto would stay crashed and nothing else would come along, no, here's AI, and crypto won't die, you are never going to buy a GPU for a reasonable price, again, unless you want to overpay for the one that's only good for 1080p, still.

NFTs don't care if they were a fad for chumps, I know damn well who's doing all the sobbing and shaking.

GPUs are sitting on shelves, but NVIDIA and AMD decided they prefer higher profit margins over faster sales
