I don’t want to live in a world without AI shoelaces (/s in case it’s needed)
“i like your shoelaces”
“thanks i stole them from sam altman”
“It’s ok, he stole them too.”
Oh I totally agree with that, just the other day I was trying to think what products there are which I would pay for which would make me utilize AI in some capacity (and not just a simple algorithm). I couldn’t find a single one. I use ChatGTP basically every day for small things, but if I had to pay for it, I don’t think I would.
Programmers are making extensive use of it with GitHub Copilot, and it’s $10 a month. It’s ChatGPT integrated right into your editor and able to see your code, so it has context when you make it generate more instead of spitting out random code with functions and variables it assumes you have.
It’s literally just a glorified autocorrect and suggestion feature.
It also suggests complete stochastic garbage most of the time. When I type “list” sometimes it will try to infer that I am writing a cookbook and try to autofill to “of ingredients” or even further.
Image/video upscaling via neural net is something I would pay for.
I currently use freeware/open source alternatives, but I am planning to get a copy of Topaz Video AI in the future.
Even the freeware/open source algorithms are incredible in terms of quality.
these chatbots are novelty toys at this point when stopping them from generating complete garbage isnt feasible with current methods
Yes exactly, today I used it to find the name of a dish which I ate in Poland when I was a child, I remembered what it was made of but not the name, only remembered a similar soup. But describing it the chat spat out the name so I will be making it during the next couple of days for dinner.

Seems to be a broken clock working twice a day scenario. It sounds convincing and I believe the general statement to be correct but they wouldn’t have made this observation if their own AI efforts didn’t fall so short. They‘re seeing silicon valley raising massive amounts of money and become angsty.
Long story short Baidu is full of crap but they make the correct claim here because it serves them.
… if their own AI efforts didn’t fall so short. They‘re seeing silicon valley raising massive amounts of money…
Successful AI =/= grifting massive amounts of money
It is in the corporate space though. Wealth > rest.
This feels like the dot com bubble all over again.
The major difference is that we don’t see an influx of insanely overvalued startups nobody heard of before.
That was the norm in the dotcom bubble and nobody remembers the “major players” of that time now.
The AI boom is pushed by the well established big tech which are also highly profitable and can afford the AI expense. Dotcom startups never were profitable.
