Why is there this push to use AI everywhere when it's so resource-heavy? What do Google, MS etc gain?
Data mining.
I wonder how it can be worth the extra cost on CPU/GPU time, compared to search of mail.
I might type "best value Jacuzzi" into Google, but "write a python script to sort numbers", or "write a message sounding like I'm actually sorry to not go to someone's party", or "this sentence is a lie" into an AI.
I can only see one of those being valuable.
This AI "revolution" has me so turned off. "hi there, here at coffee shop X we use"AI"". Um. Ok. Neat. Does it do anything different?
Even Chatgpt is hit and miss. I'm not buying into this AI thing until we have cylons.
It doesn't actually need to make money at the moment, just drive value for shareholders.

Data is the new oil.
