Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think AI tools have (and will have) their uses, but AI as a whole has been hyped up so much for so long now that the bubble is bound to burst sooner or later.

And when it does, hopefully we can go back to not having AI shoved into every fucking thing imaginable...

No I don't want an AI on my phone or computer trawling through all my data for you, just to give me some handy search feature I almost certainly won't use.

They are neat tools, if looked at realistically. They certainly don't deserve to be called AI. I like to call them High Coherence Media Transformers.

Yes, that certainly applies to the most popular ones, but not necessarily true for all instances of these technologies.
