Because its a scam.
A scam that will inevitably end humanity on a global scale…… probably.
In a gold rush it is better, on average, to sell the shovels then to mine the gold.
Why does it cost so much to engineer new models? I thought AI can replace software engineers now, shouldn’t the development cost of new models decrease over time?
You can’t avoid the compute requirements
This is exactly the question i ask “investment advisor” services when they call asking if i want help managing investments.
For you to have a system that works well enough for me to be interested , there’d be no need for you to spend money on call centers full of people ringing up strangers for money, you could take all of that money and invest it in the plan you are trying to sell me.
I’ve always thought that as well. Surely it wouldn’t take them long to become ludicrously wealthy with their top investing acumen.
Because nobody but nvidia profits from LLMs.
Because it’s only capable of producing slop.
That is the right question.
Because you need to have idea that people agree to pay money for. AI companies have idea that is selling GPU (nvidia) computer generated chat ( OpenAI, Anthropics ). People don’t really need GPU or computer chat but they are willing to pay for it because they believe it will help them to save time or money by spending time and money using this shit.
That’s paradox of modern times. We are being sold time spending tools that bring nothing to our lives except turning our heads from the fact that planet is dying.
AI is becoming a pretty big problem where executives are challenging experts or subject matter experts on topics based on their Ai usage. The problem is because the answers sound really good, but often the prompts aren’t quite right so then the experts need to do a bunch more work to explain and justify things that the executives just find rebuttals for through further ai prompting.
Been shouting this from the rooftops since the beginning. If it was half as good as claimed, I would NOT have access to it.
If I recall correctly, shovel companies made a lot of money while only a few of their shovels actually struck gold.
Recent scholarship confirms that merchants made far more money than miners during the gold rush.
The wealthiest man in California during the early years of the rush was Samuel Brannan, a tireless self-promoter, shopkeeper and newspaper publisher. Brannan opened the first supply stores in Sacramento, Coloma, and other spots in the goldfields. Just as the rush began, he purchased all the prospecting supplies available in San Francisco and resold them at a substantial profit.
Cuz it doesn’t work.
Better question is if you can really build an app as easily as writing a prompt, why would anyone pay you for your app?
Somehow AI bros like to pretend that AI is some secret lifehack despite it being one of the most mainstream things in human history.
They’re working on it. They just need a little more of your internal documents and source code.
They’ll announce soon that personal ai assistants require a blood sacrifice to run, on top of the monthly and metered fees.
Because it is a scam. Just like the people selling, instead of using:
- healing crystals
- essential oils
- blockchain
- penis-enlargement pills
- JIRA
Jira is awful 😞😔
I mean, it kinda fits with the rest of that category, other than I’ve never been harassed about healing crystals.
Q: Couldn’t this JIRA ticket just be an email?
A: No! Because JIRA will send you like, 10 emails.
Jira, lol.
LOL Love the (accurate) JIRA inclusion there
