My kids and all their friends are crazy about AI. They’re bent on making it do as much of their work as possible. It’s fascinating. Though it probably isn’t intentional, AI service providers are already hooking kids early to have customers later.
I saw other waves and this one is different. This is the first time we can unlock increasing cognitive capabilities by just basically letting capital grow its own ai. It's at the level of like invention of internet or currency or printing press or writing or maybe even human language.
The reality as far as I can tell is that we still have an incredible distance to go to have anything comparable to unlocking spoken or written language.
This isn't just a tech echo chamber, it's the YC/SV echo chamber. Nobody is seriously looking at AI for normal products, because it's not trustworthy. Never really will be. Why do you think subways still have human operators? The combined investment & risk of full automation aren't worth it. It'll be useful for customer support bots, and backend things like spam filtering and other statistical analysis. But otherwise…

Or they're hooking kids because they're least likely to have the domain experience required to recognize how confidently wrong AI can be.

They don’t always. This sucked the wind out of your whole argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driver-less_train_syst...

AI looks to be great for ideation and development. But it's not there if you value a high quality output.
Yes. There's still a lot of people who aren't that aware of this stuff, and frankly, its because it still doesn't have much practical use. Its making headlines left and right, and businesses are all trying to figure out what this stuff does, but if you're not watching much news and not in the tech side of business you probably don't know or care?
I'm using an LLM to teach me interactively how LLMs work and how to integrate LLMs into our products. It's replaced 90% of my googling/stack overflow. Every engineer in our company is using Copilot and ChatGPT to write software.
