Yeah, and any "it will cure cancer" usually boils down to "uhmm, if we feed it enough training material, it will turn into a sentient superintelligence, which will cure cancer".
Issue is, the AI accelerationist cult has planned out every scenario, and they have a very good plan to amaze politicians. That's why the bubble haven't burst yet.
Nah I'm being told I could get a lot more stuff done with AI all without any negative effect on quality (doubt), and I'm not getting a job in my original field unless I "learn to get the maximum out of LLMs, and set up agents" (if they at all would hire me without 864186496384384938489340 years of experience).
Yes, but only if either the required hardware becomes affordable (don't expect frontier models to run on 5090s, let alone on the 1050Ti you're keeping as a backup), or somehow the models become more efficient. Even if by reduced capability, which might be a good thing in the grand scheme of things. Some people use overengineered frontier models as synonym search engines.
I don't care that it made you a funny meme that is photorealistic. I don't care if it helped you to code your website. All I care about is that I'm now expected to surrender myself to the machine, forget how to draw even a stick figure, forget how to play instruments, forget how to write code. Even forget basic critical thinking skills. All because there's now a 420/69/poggers/Kenau Reeves levels of cool machine, that turns a lot of things away from "implementation" into "coming up with the best ideas"
