The thing with AI isnt that it doesn't have a whole lot of use cases,it is thr fact that its use cases dont justify the hype or investment it has gotten.

It is somewhere in between Crypto and dot.com as far as bubbles go, and as open models catch up with closed source ones, it seems less and less likely that yhese companies are ever gonna make back the monry they spent, at least short term.

The truly disheartening aspect is the fact that so many technical "leaders" have bought into the hype and are throwing huge sums of money down this rabbit hole.

And many seem convinced that these talking hard drives that can't do simple math are somehow a threat to society. This is an insult to humanity in more ways than one.
