Yeah, I mean, what else would you do with those chips? Run LLMs faster? Sorry but the killer app is still not there, the majority of people do not care and have no use for them.

Don't you dare question the usefulness of gen ai on the hacker news. Many folks haven't caught up with reality just yet.

It's not quite that bad, at least not in comments.

I wonder what proportion of students use them for homework etc. The coming generations of people will care less about writing style.

It's the new calculator.

I don't have papers but I think calculators, which are amazing and necessary, impact people's mental calculation capabilities. I know I used to he better at multiplication when i didn't have calculators all around me.

IMO, AI will have similar impact. Great advance overall but will nerf some areas of or mental capacity.

Like astronauts losing muscle mass faster in zero gravity.

AI impact on our brain, just like the calculator, might be a reasonable price to pay for the advancement it gives.

My manual calculation skills were at their peak in seventh grade in school, when we were allowed to use a calculator for the first time (and thus the exercises got harder) but simultaneously I usually forgot to bring mine.

But yeah, I don't think I could think better in general, when I did arithmetic better.

There are a significant number of uses, it's just most of them involve generating slop for the purposes of fraud or feigning work.

I thought it was really damning how Apple's recent ads involved a celebrity using it to respond to their agent about a script proposal they didn't actually read.

I just paid for some graphic design work. What I got back looked pretty, but was very clearly derivative of generative AI. I feel defrauded...

You can always train more and faster, and run more experiments.
