Not to the degree in which your random smart lightbulbs company has now packaged a poorly shipped “AI” product for the sake of capitalizing on the hype. However, leveraging LLMs has its rewards too. Anecdotally, it has 10x my ability at rapid prototyping. In other examples, I’ve seen it help discover new pathways to better medicines and diagnose diseases more accurately. There’s pros and cons, like anything.
In domain-specific applications, yeah, agree. But building massive datacenters so randos on the internet can ask it to draw a picture of the Spice Girls if they were all anthropomorphic top-hats is a waste of resources, IMO lol.
OR…“and that’s why we don’t need AI”

Lmao agreed
The same thought can be applied to gaming. It’s just an another convenient scape goat for the oil industry.
