RE: Are We Cheating?
I'm generally less hesitant of AI than i was a few years ago, but I still think a lot of this is marketing buzz.
The only use I've found for AI so far is parsing really deep or vague subjects. For example, "what degree or career is best suited to someone with my resume and GitHub profile". I could find a professional advisor, who has done the years of research and has years of experience, and pay them to give me a few ideas. The AI gives me the same starting points, then lets me research the specifics on my own. By narrowing that research space, it saves me a lot of time and helps me find something that I will be interested in doing deep-dive research on.
I no longer think the fad of AI will pass, but I think the subsidization will end, and I think most people will stop using it in their daily lives. It will become the best search engine out there, for those willing to pay/endure ads. The rest of us will just deal with the slop it creates for those willing to pay for it.
Those are some interesting ideas on it. Definitely a bit different from what most other people have commented, but I like it. It's a take that I don't think many people are betting on, but I could see things going that way. Kind of like the whole VR or 3D thing that they tried to revive a short time ago.
I wrote this article over two years ago predicting that AI would completely go the way of VR, and be relegated to obscurity. https://hive.blog/technology/@queenmeteor/my-unprompted-thoughts-on-ai
I think it's more of a middleground now, but once the venture capital dries up, we will see what is left. AI is a massively expensive technology, even moreso than video streaming. Streaming sites are getting more expensive and cracking down on piracy/adblocking because the business model is only barely sustainable. If AI fails to find it's break even point, then I can't imagine massive companies continuing to subsidize it.
