    That’s standard for emerging technologies. They tend to be loss leaders for quite a long period in the early years.

    It’s really weird that so many people gravitate to anything even remotely critical of AI, regardless of context or even accuracy. I don’t really understand the aggressive need for so many people to see it fail.

      For me personally, it's because it's been so aggressively shoved in my face in every context. I never asked for it, and I can't escape it. It actively gets in my way at work (github copilot) and has already re-enabled itself at least once. I'd be much happier to just let it exist if it would do the same for me.

        I just can't see AI tools like ChatGPT ever being profitable. It's a neat little thing that has flaws but generally works well, but I'm just putzing around in the free version. There's no dollar amount that could be ascribed to the service that it provides that I would be willing to pay, and I think OpenAI has their sights set way too high with the talk of $200/month subscriptions for their top of the line product.

          Because there’s already been multiple AI bubbles (eg, ELIZA). It’s also been falsely presented as basically “AGI.”

          AI models trained to help doctors recognize cancer cells - great, awesome.

          AI models used as the default research tool for every subject - very very very bad. It’s also so forced - and because it’s forced, I routinely see that it has generated absolute, misleading, horseshit in response to my research queries. But your average Joe will take that on faith, your high schooler will grow up thinking that Columbus discovered Colombia or something.

            $200 a month isn't enough to keep open AI profitable

                Wouldn't call that a "summary", but interesting read all the same. Thanks for the link.
