it is useful, i do not understand people hating on it calling it useless. I have used it countless times for various things from work to things around the house.
It is not useless and no one is saying that it is.
What we are saying is that GenAI will never be able to go beyond code helper or assistant and the people hyping these tools continually promise AGI or something that can solve complex problems.
The ROI is just not there and eventually there will be a margin call.
Since it is useful without AGI, and since that means it can be monetized, I don't believe the "shareholders will revolt" (which was the original assertion.)
There us plenty of value yo be unlocked well short of AGI.
Are investors excited? Yes. Is that excitement being fueled by hype? yes. Will excitement cool eventually? Sure. Will some investors, investing in the wrong thing, lose money? Sure.
tbh i would rather talk to AI that can accomplish tasks for me rather than talking to human customer support that will require me to wait on call for 30 minutes and then get routed to different departements and explain the issue again and again and then get to someone who can actually do what i want them to do . I dont think todays AI can do that but we will get there.
its a replacement for the cell phone not escape from real life. At least thats what i think zuck is trying to do he realized apple can kneecap his company anytime it wants just like they did with the whole AD tracking fiasco, he wants to have a foot in the new paradigm which he thinks will be ar/vr.
that does not make sense,the deal is msft gets everything except AGI. They do believe they ll reach AGI whether thats pipe dream or not is a different story because they believe in agi they are fine with giving up everything upto that point
