I can't tell if AI is going to become the biggest leap forward in technology that we've ever seen. Or if it's all just one giant fucking bubble. Similar to the crypto craze. It's really hard to tell and I could see it going either way.

There is plenty of AI that is already in use (for example in medical diagnostics and engeneering) so we can safely say that it isn't "one giant bubble" - it might be overhyped when it comes to certain aspects like the ability to write a coherent and creative book that would have success on the market.

It can certainly help to write a book, though. So even if we aren't close to being able to just tell ChatGPT-n "write a satisfying conclusion to the Song of Ice and Fire series for me please" it's still going to shake things up quite a bit.

People seem to think that ChatGPT is way more useful than it actualy is. It's very odd.

People often take works of fiction to be akin to documentaries, so they may be expecting science fiction style AI.

The Internet was a massive success, however 95% of web companies went bankrupt during the dot com bubble. Just because something is useful doesnt' mean it can't be massively overhyped and a bubble............

[–] Sumpfkraut@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I have no disagreement about that. I only wanted to convey that not 100% of it is a bubble.
