Web 3.0 has always been a joke. AI has more actual uses
They are both useful and both jokes.
Depends what exactly we are talking about.
Utility is born of necessity, and it's true that every joke needs a punchline.
AI != chatbots
Just saying.
There is a point when one can just admit they are wrong, or twist words to convince themselves they were right.
Y’all need to understand that AI is coming and is going to replace a lot of things. I don’t know why some of you keep pretending it has no use case. This tech is going to leave you behind if you don’t use it.
I'm no AI fan by any means, but it's really good at pointing directions, or rather, introducing you to topics that you didn't know how to start researching.
I often find myself asking: "Hey AI, I want to do this very specific thing but I don't really know what it is called, can you help me?". And sure enough I get the starting point, so I can close that down and search on my own.
Otherwise, trying to learn anything in depth there is just a footgun.
^(edit: typo)
I'm seconding this and adding to it. AI is terrible for factual information but great at relative knowledge and reframing.
I use it as a starting off point in writing research when I can't get relevant search results. Most recently, I asked it about urban legends in modern day Louisiana and got a list for more in-depth searches, most were accurate.
It's good at mocking up accents and patterns of speech relative to a location/time as well.
They just explained how to use AI in a way where "truth" isn't relevant.
How would I search something I don't know how it's called? As I explained the AI is just responsible to tell me "hey this thing X exists", and after that I go look for it on my own.
Why am I a moron? Isn't it the same as asking another person and then doing the heavy lifting yourself?
^(edit: typo)
No you didn't. You just made a completely irrelevant point about truth.
No way the vast majority of people are getting things right more than 80% of the time. On their owned trained tasks, sure, but random knowledge? Nope. The AI holds a more intelligent conversation than most of humanity. It says a lot about humanity.
I was about to say don't insult web 3.0, but you're actually right. AI at least has useful applications to begin with
