Topic: How much of AI is a hype machine?

Anonymous A started this discussion 1 hour ago #135,132

We see Meta and others cutting management to replace it with AI for coordination and warnings of robot apocalypse. How much of this is a smokescreen to spur investment and big exits? The data I see on AI actually helping to generate revenue isn’t there. You get process efficiencies but not growth. And a strained power grid for … advanced text completion and slop videos made in India to get YouTube hits?

As much as the Internet was a hype machine during the dotcom era. Foolish to think AI as some type of one trick pony that isn't going to forever change the economy.

Imagine pitching the internet, as a step towards AI. It's like, you need the wheel tech to eventually get to the bombers
