The artificial intelligence experts who believe the AI boom
could fizzle or even be a new dotcom crash: 'We are starting
to see signs it might be a dud'

Companies are not willing to pay for Microsoft's 'star' product

Could predicted AI trillions fail to materialise?

. . .

The answer to the question is "Yes", with some
qualifications.

"AI" has been VASTLY over-hyped/over-sold. It's
good at SOME things, but makes a total ass of
itself in a lot of areas too. The recent debacle
of some AI engines imagining "black" NAZI storm
troopers and US "Founding Fathers" - due to
'woke' brainwashing of the systems - has REALLY
reduced confidence. Are you really getting "AI"
or just someones political agenda dressed up in
a silicon lab coat ?

Seems like every time I get an "AI" when calling
for service at big corps it's INNANE. Cannot
figure out The Problem worth a damn - just
suggests STUPID "fixes" and hopes you go away.
Best tact I've found so far is to give it nonsense
phrases/words that blow it's little mind and eventually
takes you to actual human tekkies who CAN understand
that "the physical cable line is broken and lying on
my lawn" or such.

Now SOME kinds of jobs ARE likely to fall to "AI",
particularly in logistics and finance and many
'clerical' positions thereof. The other day I posted
on "Chat" being given a physical BODY ... and that
was kinda worrisome. It COULD replace humans in
some "assembly-line" kinds of jobs soon. It
"understood" and could reason/infer AND physically
interact with the Real World in an appropriate
and coordinated fashion.

Oh well, way back to Charlie Chaplin and "Metropolis"
there were fears of humans becoming de-facto "machines"
to the industrial complex - now it WILL be actual
machines. And the humans ... guess they'll just starve ...
obsolete ... burdens ... annoyances ........ just cut
back the Soylent Green ration a little at a time ......

The Elite will preserve some of your daughters, as
slaves/servants ... so there's a positive, right ? :-)

Of course, as "AI" finally DOES reach it's potential,
who's to say The Elite will not also become obsolete ?

Tech note - Nvidia announced last week the creation
of a new GPU chip, widely used for "AI", that's at
least four times faster than the existing - at about
the same price. There are other approaches to "AI"
out there too ... 'neural networks' and such ... which
may actually eclipse Chat and other LLMs once there's
enough computing power/connectivity.

Seems to me
that 'artificial neurons' and how they work might be
radically simplified, turned more into just smallish
math ops. SOME approaches I've seen involve using
some "analog computing" or near-about methods as well.
"Analog" rules/ops CAN be just blazingly fast for
certain real-world events ...... but, in the end,
emulating the crap 'nature' came up with because it
had to work with what it had to work with might be
a less-effective path. Somewhere there's a "paradigm"
for "intelligence", a Method, a pattern, a sort of
"How It Works", infinite self-reflections. Then we're
in Deep Shit out of the sci-fi rags. Brave New World -
and NOT sure if we're PART of it .........

Figure they'll find that in, say, 20 years ??? The
existing "AI" will figure it out. Biz/industry/mil/gov
will JUMP on it, convinced it'll Save Them Money ....

Oh, Greenies, the "AI"s will strip the earth bare
with zero consideration for organics in search of
What They Need. We'll look like Venus or Mars. If
you think you're gonna have any input into that
then you've been eating too many Funny Mushrooms ...
