Feels like an incredibly shallow take on this technology. I predict this article will age horribly within a decade.

IMO if you can’t see the difference between crypto and LLMs, you aren’t paying enough attention. I think it’s much closer in impact to the internet than to crypto. Just because something is wildly overhyped, doesn’t mean that what’s underneath the hype isn’t huge.

There’s tons of value in AI, the only questions are how far will this improvement curve go before leveling off and how long will it take to usefully integrate the technology into various domains. The tide will go out and we’ll realize that many emperors have no clothes, but there will be many AI companies that have strong understanding of the reality of the tech, have strong technical and business fundamentals, and will be well positioned to become Fortune 50 companies.

It would be nice if you could provide more depth to this take, but you just countered shallow takes with more shallow takes (and hype).

The short answer is that the technology as of today works and is useful. Text summarization. Text rephrasing. Image, text and video generation. Intent extraction. Voice generation. AI brings structure to previously unstructured data. AI allows us to solve problems we couldn't solve before where we aren't smart enough to write down the rules but we are smart enough to collect and label examples. It's imperfect but it works well enough to be useful - the dumb hype is driven by usecases that haven't found the right use of the technology given current accuracy realities. If you have enough data and can frame a problem as a sequence problem, these models can help you solve it. The hardware and software is rapidly improving and costs will go down. As the productization of this tech gets better we are better able to leverage today's technology in useful ways - consider chatgpt vs copilot vs cursor as ways of leveraging AI to help with coding.

Is openmajestic an AI promoting AI bot trying to defend itself the only way it can with shallow takes? Its only a couple weeks old.
