I understand the ethical and environmental implications, but aside from that it feels like 3D TVs/Handhelds/Monitors and 3D Movies all over again. I recognize 3D video still exists, but for a couple years there they were very ready to tell you HOW CERTAIN WE ARE THAT 3D IS WHAT YOU WANT ON ALL YOUR SCREENS ALL THE TIME and EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER STOPPED PUSHING IT ON PEOPLE LIKE THIS CONSTANTLY FOR THAT ENTIRE TIME eventually they gave up and went away.

In some ways this is slightly trickier because Machine Learning seems almost certain to be what propels us to the next age of technology, IMO, and is likely already doing so in more ways than I realize or than most of us do.

I still see GenAI the way it's currently pushed as nothing but a destroyer of authenticity and enabler of corporate greed.

I think AI will go more the route of 'the cloud' rather than 3D movies. It has valid use cases, but by now no one's really hyping up the cloud anymore. It just exists for the scenarios it makes sense and most of the bullshit use cases have died off to one degree or another. AI will eventually lose its appeal as a buzzword and then it'll just be there for the stuff that's worth the cost.

The big die off will happen when companies stop subsidizing it and try to charge what it's actually costing them to run.

Here's the kicker - the moment we truly, internally commit to the product and make interesting things with it, is the moment they're gonna want to take it away and put it behind a paywall.
Or we'll be back to the Stone Age way before that.

This is how it always goes - first you make the best product you can and sell it as cheap as you can to build a customer base, and once you've got customers then you squeeze them for as much money as possible.

Their problem at the moment is they're having trouble actually getting customers on board because the product isn't very good, so it's being pushed as hard as possible. Your betters have already decided that this is their next trillion dollar product, why won't the peasants just obey?!

It's missing two step for propert enshittification.

Once the users are locked in you get the companies on board to vomit ads on the users. Then squeeze advertisers too and reduce the product to the cheapest bare minimum.

The correct answer is to get mad.

Anger is my cardio.

I usually laucry or craugh at how simulated artificial intelligence is forced into everything.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I've noticed it being used more in its own "only AI could manage to do this so badly" way, and that's the point of the entertainment. Kinda like WWE. It's so bad it's good and yet some idiots out there actually take it seriously.

I really hate the recent updates on Visual Studio Code. Almost everything in the changelog is just feeding co-pilot into Code.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I hope the AI bubble bursts soon.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I'm so tired of all this too. I'd be so happy if AI never appeared. But, alas: the closer the collapse of the empire, the more insane its laws become.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I'm hoping AI will make my laserdiscs and 3D TV useful.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

There one here I laughed at. "Just eat"(I think its called something else in the US) has an AI button... To help you figure out what you want to eat... lol

[–] derosnec@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

What galls me is not just the presumption that we want it, but that we need to be reminded that AI exists with every. Single. Interaction. Then you have Microsoft who had the nerve to charge EXTRA for Copilot by default (as part of Office whatever its name is this week), a product I don't want and actively try to suppress.

That wheelchair just needs a Hector-style bell attached to it. "Are you sick of AI yet?" DING DING DING DING DING

SugarCat, buddy, please. Go do something off line. I don't care what. Just go do something. I'd recommend going to a Pet store and petting some puppies or kittens.
