"The cost to use AI is currently artificially low but, on the other hand, the demand is also low."@paco @CppGuy @futurebird so far only Elizabeth Holmes has been punished for this practice, but it's absolutely the same thing that Musk and Altman do.

"The cost to use AI is currently artificially low but, on the other hand, the demand is also low."@paco @CppGuy @futurebird add to that "in the future, it will be able to do X" which is essential Muskology

"The cost to use AI is currently artificially low but, on the other hand, the demand is also low."@futurebird @CppGuy I am old enough to remember spellcheck being The Editor Replacer. Turns out it has only fully replaced copyeditors in low-margin publishing, with bad results. Everywhere else it's Just Another Tool, as is Excel over handwritten spreadsheets. It will increase productivity when used with expertise, but it will also increase capacity to make big errors. A run-of-the-mill competence multiplier like all the other office tools we have.

"The cost to use AI is currently artificially low but, on the other hand, the demand is also low."@CppGuy @futurebird even the people that make it don't know what it's for. "We've invented this thing that's hugely inefficient and expensive to use, and we don't know why, but if we hype it up massively, make it free, and make it seem like The Future Is Robots maybe people will invent a use for it that we can monetise?"
