Re: AI demand is already shrinking
#2Initially, I loved chatting w/ LLMs and exploring ways to 'jailbreak' them to do things not intended.
But, I feel like the novelty has worn off.

#3Turns out all components of capitalism are rather bureaucratic and locked in place by compliance, lack of organisational flexibility, as well as nonexistent information flow (because pecking order would be unstable with informational transparency). The result being any large company can not adopt new tech into core function

#4I think I'm a relatively slow adopter of AI, but this feels a bit premature to call it a fad at this point. Everyone is still in a bit of a "wait and see" period, but we already see some of the disputes over rights to use AI recreations of actors indicate there is demand for companies who would want to use it if the legal situation was more defined and favourable.
I think at this point it's hard to tell if ChatGPT is like the early demos of self-driving cars (neat, but just never able to get the trust levels for mass adoption), or like the LG Prada, a sign of what to come, just needing someone to wrap it in iPhone levels of execution to succeed. Or maybe it's even the Newton to the iPhone.

Especially when the new tech really doesn’t work all that well yet.

#6This is not a good article. Author just seems to be reaching for convenient numbers to use for axe grinding.

#7I use them to almost exclusively to ask programming questions and generate boilerplate code, but not for really "intelligent" things. Usually if I don't feel like sifting through a few dozen bad search results in google I'll just ask ChatGPT simple questions

#9The real advantage of LLMs is not search -- that's just something that's easy to show people. No one really wants to talk to an LLM instead of using Google search.
The real value is being general reasoning machines. Being able to accomplish basic tasks, retrieve information, etc. is the key value.

#10The dot-com bubble crashed too. People see potential, get excited, then disappointed when it doesn't immediately come to fruition.
But tech didn't go away after the dot-com bubble. Slowly people and organizations learned how to actually use computers and networks. Thousands of startups tried ideas and bit by bit people figured things out. 20 years later tech rules the economy.
AI is now entering its trough of early disappointment. Give people a few decades to learn to actually use it in all the thousands of ways it can be used.
