People are way too pessimistic about AI. NVIDIA is going to sell GPUs by the truckload until research finds a way around CUDA.
Sure, the pace of big leaps has slowed, but I liken this phase to the early 1900s. Cars were slow and unreliable, but once the technology took foothold and the 4th Industrial Revolution really took off, look how much progress was made. We went to the moon by the 60s.
It's less dumb, but it's still fucking dumb. Search gives me garbage results constantly, so does AI. AI is usually just a little bit easier to figure out since you just ask it natural language questions unlike traditional search.
When googling anything today you really can't find useful information unless it's a very specific set of instructions usually on a social media site. AI doesn't give you nearly as much garbage unless you start asking it really complex questions.
Yes. Every year the SEO slop article bloat increases.
The trend has been steadily downwards for at least another decade as money making has been the goal above and beyond everything else.
In some ways I think the internet’s era is coming to an end. I don’t even know what the fuck we call it but the slop has taken over. Every website with information has paywalls or the most horrific advertisements we’ve ever seen.
I don’t understand how people even use the internet without ad blockers but many do. Every day all the anti Adblock tech updates and breaks everything unless you fuck with it, and they usually fix it. Feels like any day we’re just a couple of small changes away from BIOS level DRM where no website can be viewed without windows configured with secure boot and some officially sanctioned DRM rootkit. After all, who cares about Linux support when it’s such a small market share? Stuff like chat control feels adjacent to this.

I really just see current AI as search 2.0.

Google search was was better before, like 10 years ago
