"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.

I doubt it is will drop as drastically as you think. Many people still use chatGPT, some for fun some for work. There are also many companies using AI chatbots as tech support and complaints departments. I saw an ad for a genetic heritage company using AI to predict what ancestors would look like. We are far from done with useless AI applications.
Who is paying to use it? Because I'm guessing their paying customer base is not exactly ballooning.
Just give time to the enshittification to move ChatGPT to subscription only and the useless applications will magically stop.
