"Will never be" is an overly confident statement for any technical field. Predicting the future is hard and predicting the future with an un-bounded time horizon is pretty near impossible.
That is the back side of the arc, the (maybe inevitable) decline into collecting monopoly profits. I think people are excited about these language models as way to crack the Monopoly with something that delivers more value to users.
Google search results are a vortex of perverse incentives and double dipping. The fact that google ranks horrible CPM arbitrage websites for nearly everything AND monetizes these websites... yuck. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to imagine how some of these AI Models could leverage a search index + something like wolfram alpha to generate a much more targeted and valuable search result.
"Never" and "AI" in the same sentence requires a high level of confidence in a specific future. I don't see why AI of the future couldn't generate a mind with all of the complexity and life experience (simulated) that Picasso was inspired by. Do that a trillion times and we might get things even cooler than cubism.
The awareness for Dall-E / Midjourney is exploding. These tools are incredibly compelling and things like game art will definitely be generated by AI's in the near future. The possibilities are barely explored.
There is speculation and excess in many markets. Pointing at an asset and calling it over valued, lacking intrinsic value is pretty devoid of meaning if you don’t have skin in the game.
My toddler wants to hear a song 1000x, I can't do something like "Play 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed on repeat or in a loop or 10x" I have to tell it each time.
Companies can profit through abuse of an information imbalance. The short sellers have an economic incentive to look behind the curtain and find these abuses. They can provide a service to the market or,they can act unethically and put out false information.
it is also a pretty good case study in the "bitter lesson" and all but ensures that the future of AI will be driven by the companies with the deepest pockets.
I find this particular example particularly gross. Recipe's are no doubt a heavily searched category. Why does google allow pure CPM hacking garbage websites to win the top spots? does it have to do with the google ads from top to bottom?
Expected the US to have 100k tests per day in February and a coordinated response but watched in horror as we bungled the early days in every imaginable way.
I've gone 7 days without food, multiple times in a row and 3 days without water. I felt great towards the end of the food fasts. I felt pretty lethargic on the dry fast. Body fat stores a significant amount of energy. I burned about 45 lbs of it this way.
Ignorance, motivated learning and money fantasies are a proven method of exploring the business problem space. Analysis and wisdom have limited utility when it comes to uncovering opportunities.
