The AI industry is a grift so big that it's really hard to explain it to people not familiar with the tech industry.
Yes, Google is perfectly aware their AI-powered search is way worse than their "classic" mode.
Yes, Apple knows their integration with chatGPT is flaky and ads nothing useful to their products. And
They.
Don't.
Care.
Because the goal is not making their products better, the goal is to ride the hype wave so the investors are happy and their stock price keeps growing.
That's almost entirely what's powering the AI industry.
It's a multibillon dollar grift. One so big and so obvious that most people think they have to be missing something, that they don't understand something that makes everything to make it makes sense as a business.
No. That's everything. It's pure snake oil selling.
@javi I thought crypto was a bubble & would be gone by now, yet here we are. 
@tob@hachyderm.io@dalias @Nazani @javi the current AI wave was *caused* by a glut of coprocessing chips that were produced by Nvidia and purchased by al cloud hosting providers with the plan to sell blockchain/"bitcoin mining as a service" to corporate customers.
But that bubble popped and they were left with tremendously expensive servers, specifically useful only for parallel computation, that nobody wanted to use.
@tob @Nazani @javi Nobody wanted to use it because parallel computation is largely useless. All the interesting parts of computation have data dependent code paths. GPUs are the computational version of the mass production capitalist brainworms of "amortize cost by doing the exact same thing at a scale much larger than anyone needs" rather than optimizing efficiency at small or single unit.
