What do you think of the A.I. hype?

From what I can see, it’s mostly just a lazy person’s search engine.

Anybody know any more about it? Do you think it’s going to fizzle out once the companies behind it go bankrupt because it didn’t make them any money? I do.

I think they’ll find a way to make money off it before giving up.

Big business is behind it in order to make their costs cheaper workforce wise, so I don’t think it will fizzle out.

I pay for chatgpt service, it helps me a lot on coding. Before chatgpt I used to take ages to code it right on python, and used stackoverflow. Now it’s easier to code, although by itself is not enough, it’s a good thing that people know how the machine thinks, in order to understand the code.

I find it useful for talking out ideas and refining them. Also good for organizing trips and doing safety planning.

I think it’s underdeveloped and overused.

We’re also in a bubble that I fear is about to burst financially.

It has helped me in a few instances though. I fed a cover image of a Japanese magazine into it because I wanted to know who the model on the cover was, and it told me the exact name of the magazine, the month and the issue number, and the name of the model. I was pretty surprised it could do all that.

It also taught me that alt+windowskey+right/left can be used to switch a window from your right to left monitor or vice versa, when using extended displays.

I’ve found this to be quite true. Most of the population I know of, describe the way they use AI, like an upgraded search engine. Which is not the way it’s meant to be used imo; otherwise why expand parallel processing so much? the entire point is problem solving.

I read somewhere, by a computer engineer, that the AI makes a guest’imated profile of the user’s reasoning ability and then provides information in accordance to what it thinks the person can handle in terms of logical reasoning. It basically feeds idiocy with idiocy and crazy with crazy. Students who take their studies seriously have a lot to gain, students who don’t; will lose a lot.

Edit: The engineer was a grok/twitter engineer

I found it useful for reality-testing and when people tell me I’m overreacting I can get a second opinion :blush:

I don’t condone using it in place of therapy, but after my recent family tragedy it offered some good specific coping skills, while my therapist went MIA on me for three weeks.

I like posting the same question to Chatgpt,Copilot,Gemini,Grok,and Perplexity to see the difference in the responses they give.

Which one responses do you prefer?

It’s going to advance significantly in the next 5 years. 5 years from now we will have personal assistance that is extremely different than what we have right now

It would need much more data than I currently have to answer that question.
