    Tech projects failing is normal, what’s more telling is comparing them to non-AI tech projects.

    But according to research by the RAND Corporation, over 80% of these AI projects will fail — which is twice the failure rate for non-AI technology-related startups.

    Remember kids, the “failure” is economic failure, not moral, not utility.

    Chatgpt is a “success”. If the company is stealing your face, art, voice but it is making money, they list it as a success.

    By that metric, FTX was a “success” until their fraud was revealed.

    80% fail economically, how many of those 20% fail morally? How many of those 20% have real utility? (E.g. not only generating weird picture of poor children building Mickey mouse out of bottles)

    I think we are in the beginning phases of ai. It has already changed how we do many things, but we are still looking how to use the tech, how to integrate it, how to make products. All while the tech is rapidly evolving.

      and yet crypto recieves speculative investment to this day. Say what you will about AI, at least the end product can sometimes do something.

    Remember that AI is an extension of human understanding, knowledge and interpretation. Not a replaceable tool

      AI has existed for less than a decade. We are fine without AI. You can’t just look at something still being built, with loads of problems, and call it irreplaceable. Nobody depends on AI for their survival, they depend on water, clean air, and other resources that AI is taking away. It’s also taking people’s jobs that, again, they need for their survival.

      Stop emulating Elon Musk and get some sleep.
