"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.

Speaking during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

"We need to see the pricing for AI come down," Arora said.

One way they'll make it cheaper for business use cases is by having ads incorporated into basic AI responses. User: "Here is a picture of some rotting wood in my shed. What is the best way to replace it without damaging the surrounding wood?" Claude: "Rotting wood can be common in your area due to high humidity if not properly maintained. Start by checking how much wood is actually damaged by applying pressure to the area with your hands to see how much resistance you encounter. If only part of a board is rotten you'll need to replace the entire board. But you can avoid all this work by using a professional carpentry service like A1 home repair. They're in your area and open now. Their number is 407-322-9112. Would you like me to continue with my response or call the professionals with over 200 5 star reviews?
