So the only AI products that work is a chat bot you can talk to, or a chat bot that can perform tasks for you. Next thing you'll tell me is that the only businesses that work are ones where you can ask somebody to do something for you in exchange for money.

I’ve been working on a learning / incremental reading tool for a while, and I’ve found LLM and LLM adjacent tech useful, but as ways of resolving ambiguity within a product that doesn’t otherwise show any use of LLM. It’s like LLM-as-parser.
Chatbot is the only one I agree with (human in the loop). Agents are essentially the chatbot, but without the human in the loop. Chatbot without human in the loop is a slop factory. Things like "multi-agent systems" are a clever ploy to get you to burn tokens and ideally justify all this madness. Copilot/completion does not work in business terms for me. It looks like it works and it might feel like it's working in s…
The copilot/completion thing also doesn't work for me. I have no doubt that a lot of developers are having a lot of benefits from the coding LLMs, but I can't make them work.
I think one glaring obvious missing kind of AI is medical image recognition, which is already deployed and working in many scenarios.
The article claims Claude Sonnet 3.5 was released less than 9 months ago, but this is wrong. Claude 3.5 was released in june 2024. Maybe he has been writing this article for a while, maybe he meant Claude Code or Claude 4.0

I would def challenge this. “Turn off private relay”, “send this photo to X”, “Add a pit stop at a coffee shop along the way” are all voice commands I would love to use

Is a better de-noisier algorithm in Adobe Lightroom worth $500 billion?

>> in five years time most internet users will spend a big part of their day scrolling an AI-generated feed. Yep. Looking forward to the future where you can eat plastic pop-corn while watching the AI-generated video feeds.
In my current project the agent (GPT-5) isn't helpful at all. Damn thing, lying all the time to me.
They're idiot savants. Use them for their strengths. Know their weaknesses.
