    The AI hype will pass but AI is here to stay. Current models already allow us to automate processes which were impossible to automate just a few years ago. Here are some examples:

    • Detecting anomalies in roentgen and CT-scans
    • Normalizing unstructured information
    • Information distribution in organizations
    • Learning platforms
    • Stock photos
    • Modelling
    • Animation

    Note, these are obvious applications.

      Also really useful at many tedious work things, that used to take a lot of time. Not going anywhere, but hype will simmer down at some point to a more reasonable level.

        Public sector hype may change forms, but governments and corporations and financial institutions are going to be quietly developing this tech like it’s the cold-war all over again. Maximum effort, no brakes.

          Depends, a slowdown in the financial markets can actually drain a lot of loose investor money from this. Most likely if the trade war thing heats up, money for AI development will shrink.

            Maybe in private or commercial sector, but defense budgets are NEVER touched. Nor should they be, everyone knows right now the nation that develops the most intelligent strategic prediction systems will basically dominate the world.

      AI itself is not getting better. Humans are getting better at writing the algorithms that will better be able to discern, classify, categorize, identify, direct the information flow, and predict based on more improved standardized inputs.

      I agree with most of you what you said, but I’m really conflicted about it.

      On one hand I hate the abuse (mental as well as physical) young women regularly go through in the modeling industry, but on the other hand losing yet another outlet for human creativity also sucks.

        In about 15 - 20 years we’re really going to miss the days of debating whether or not LLM image and video generation is ethical or not.

        We’re in the “simpler times” that we will long for someday. Yes, that should terrify you.
