    I can’t wait for this current “A.I.” craze to go away. The tech is doofy, useless, wasteful, and a massive energy consumer. This is blockchain nonsense all over again, though that still hasn’t fully died yet, unfortunately.

      It’s not for you. Its for corporations who want to fire half their staff and replace them with an algorithm. That’s why it has such a high valuation.

        Those corporations are about to find out the fun way that these algorithms, in their current and near-future states, cannot replace human beings.

        Well, except for maybe lazy copywriters who pump out pointless listicles and executives who do - whatever it is they do - but any non-trivial task requiring creativity and understanding is beyond these tools.

          You’re assuming that they care about running a viable service or product.

            The hope is that their customers care. Or their customer’s customers.

    Oh good! I remember when they said they couldn’t afford to pay independent copyright owners. Now they can pay for the work they stole!
