People keep comparing AI to the likes of NFTs, the blockchain, and 3D printers. All of those were over-promised niche products but AI has already proven its worth.
They were all about what they could do, but AI is already doing it.
I don't know why you're throwing shade at 3d printers, they're great products that allow you to make random shit and iterate prototypes. A friend of mine has some, and along with fidgets and shit, she's used it to replace parts that the OEMs won't sell at reasonable prices.
Commercial 3D printers didn't really revolutionalize anything outside of making prototyping quicker. It's a useful tool for certain applications, but there is no reason for every hone to have one as was promised 15 years ago when the technology became widespread.
I absolutely do not believe that AI has proven itself to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars that has been poured into it
"AI" / LLMs ARE over-promised, over-funded product that has absolutely not proven it's worth the energy and investment being poured in it.
"AI" doesn't exist. You're just recycling grifter hype.
