How is AI today not a real product? The transformers paper sure, but I feel like Sam Altman productised it big time via “open” AI



I use ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Midjourney, Fireflies, Cleanup.Pictures, and a host of other AI-based tools in my daily workflow. I pay money for much of that. Anyone saying that these tools aren't products are, to be frank, deluded.

For some reason, people are equating inaccuracy with redundancy. I can't fathom why people do so.

I have a copy-writer, editor, artist, co-coder, photo editor, reporter, all at my finger tips. I need to give them advice on how to iterate their designs, and I know not to ask them for explicitly "correct" information, but they save me hours of my life, and hundreds in hiring costs. I can get templates, corrections, suggestions, tips, etcetera, in seconds. It's incredible.
