The idea that AI can do everything and that it will be cheap.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not cheap now, it never will be with corporate greed.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

It is still heavily subsidized and not profitable.

I know little about AI... can you explain your reasoning?

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They are pitching that you can replace all schoolteachers with AI. As if a classroom full of kids is going to quietly shuffle in and sit down at a computer to be intellectually challenged without adults present.

They are pitching that most doctors can be replaced with AI.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 4 points 10 months ago

Ahhhhhh... yes of course sometimes you just need a person

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It almost works, but not quite. The sellers of the tech think it will eventually work, and that may be true but they are burning a a lot of goodwill and potential customers on the way. Some AI tech will survive, but it will be rebranded and just the stuff that proves actually useful or productivity enhancing.

Definitely not going to die, but the market/valuation will go way down as people realize it can kinda do a lot of things but mostly sucks at them compared to humans. It's a tool, not a product.

It depends on what you consider dead. I was using generative AI in 2020 before this hype wave really began, but it was a healthy and growing niche.

The current state of the art models aren't worth the unsubsidized cost/investment (future models might be but I'm very skeptical). The problem is huge companies are investing expecting ROI that I can't imagine they'll ever get. It's going to crash.

I'm not sure whether the code completion models will ever die. They aren't great but they are useful. Which is basically my assessment of AI as a whole. The vastly more expensive models that are marginally better are probably not sustainable, but local models and less expensive ones will probably stay with us.

But if you're talking mostly from an economic standpoint, yeah I'm pretty sure it's going to crash barring some significant breakthrough on cost reduction or output quality.

Would be nice.

In 3 to 5 years? Optimistic, aren’t we.

I can guarantee that the trend of throwing popcorn at the minecraft movie will be dead /hj

Young adults seem like they're dressing in 95-05 fashion choices. That'll pass.

fashion choices. That'll pass.

FTFY.
