Huge crypto vibes Every single person I know working in AI these days ... has been sparked by the ChatGPT moment.
Popular things = crypto ? I’d say the differentiator is that in addition to hype scammers, you have people like Stephen Wolfram excited.
Also, there is no "working in AI", a few thousand people are doing real AI at most. The rest of us are calling an API.

I see what you mean; but as external observer to both, I see crypto as having failed to provide or prove any particularly productive use; and chatGPT, for all its flaws, has been useful to me daily for last 2 months - and not in some crazy make-money-in-suspicious-ways sense, but like learning french and python and figuring out new concepts and stuff. But that's sample n=1 I suppose, there are both people that believ…

Pretty much, you can take any article hyping up AI/ChatGPT/etc and replace those words with crypto stuff and it's virtually indistinguishable from the crypto spam of yesteryear. I wonder what the next "get rich quick" techbro fad will be.
replace cloud with big data
replace big data with web scale
It's all just a hype and crash cycle
I've talked to academics who are getting discouraged that they don't see how their approach to AI is going to be possible any more, with so much funding going toward the largest models from industry. On the other hand I've talked to startup founders building AI products whose business is booming because ChatGPT brought so much attention to the entire space.
We are certainly living in interesting times ;-)

With crypto, my 70+ Korean mother in law asked me how she could make money with it. With ChatGPT, she's using it daily.
Probably not the right place to post this, but I really want someone to build a ChatGPT service that reviews consumer EULAs and highlights the important stuff, and can tell me what changes with them each time I have to reaccept or get notified. It's a subset of making legalese digestible, but bringing more visibility into the density of them would be wondrous.
I work on a research team in FAANG. What it really feels like is one company made everyone else obsolete. And we are going to work working on NLP models that underperform ChatGPT by a huge margin. Twiddling my thumbs and keeping quiet while no one wants to recognize the elephant in the room. Also, there is no "working in AI", a few thousand people are doing real AI at most.

So... I don't know where you're working. But don't twiddle your thumbs for too long! It's no fun to be in the last half of people to leave the sinking ship.
