They built a solution in search of a problem, which isn't uncommon.
But, the AI can't solve anything without climbing over the guardrails and hallucinating. Turns out the only thing it's good for is art, music, and writing, but only if you accept that it's not very good at any of those, either.
I think the LLM method is a dead end. I think they've all figured that out, and now they're panicking because they've gone neck-deep into debt to fund this virtually useless tech. I hope the entire thing goes tits up this year, and used GPUs flood the market.
On my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with ai as a thechology. The problem comes from corporations trying to sell it as a solution for non-existent problem, also not caring about that most people dont need it.
I think the capabilities are alright, it's just way too expensive to run and now they are struggling to pay for that cost.
Exactly. The capabilities are nice. The issues come up when we talk price. The capabilities are not $99/month nice. And they're not "Mark Zuckerberg knows everything I search for" nice, either.
So we wait and watch the bubble wobble, while I put pennies in my GPU savings jar.
