A new survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and reported on by Apolloseems to show that large companies may be tapping the brakes on AI. Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August. Most other lines, representing companies with fewer employees, are also at a decline, with some still increasing.

I mean the automatic speech recognition and transcription capabilities are quite useful. But that's about it, for me for now.

It could be interesting for frame interpolation in movies at some point maybe, I guess.

I dream of using it for the reliable classification of things. But I haven't seen it working reliably, yet.

For the creation of abstracts and as a dialog system for information retrieval it doesn't feel exact/correct / congruent enough to me.

Also: A working business plan to make money with actual AI services has yet to be found. Right now it is playing with a shiny new toy and the expectations and money of their investors. Right now they fail to deliver and the investors might get restless. Selling the business while it is still massively overrated, seems like the only way forward. But that's just my opinion.

That's what LLM are made for; text stuff, not knowledge stuff.
