What's left out of that chart is number of questions answered vs linked to previous answers. I bet that's a hell of an oblong bell curve.

Premium: This Is Worse Than The Dot Com Bubble

I think Apple was smart not to get tangled up in the AI race. I DO think it's hilarious that they're using Google Gemini: (learned their lesson after the Apple Maps fiasco lol)

Apple confirms Google Gemini will power a more personalised Siri as it works to improve Apple Intelligence and address AI delays.

if anyone here owns a starlink system, in the recent update they are starting to collect your data and train their ai on it, so opt out now while you can....

This is so true it isn't funny. Too bad the people creating and selling AI products can't be bothered to understand it.
Apparently, it seems that all it takes to be an AI entrepreneur is a loud mouth and absolutely no common sense.

It's mind boggling the amount of money being dumped on this, and they are losing money but yet keep going. It's all fake money just going back and forth in a closed circular economy of investments based on unrealized gains while increasing their debt. I can't find the article but I had read that some of these companies are buying hardware that's not even manufactured yet, so they can install it in data centres that are not even built yet. It's like they're so far into this they can't stop spending more on this and hope that somehow it will turn a profit.
My prediction is this year people and companies get AI fatigue across the board. Since it's still new it's cool and everything, but that novelty will die down. General public is going to be tired of hearing or seeing anything AI related and that buzzword being used in products is going to make people just shrug. Companies will have to dial back pushing it, and it will lead to the bubble slowly bursting. As much as I'd like to see it burst hard and the market get flooded with cheap hardware I honestly don't think it will happen. There has to be something these companies know that we don't, that is making it viable but it just takes long to get there and they're playing the long game. Maybe they have enough big customers lined up that will actually pay a premium to use it. Government maybe. Stuff like 15 minute cities and fully self driving cars will rely heavily on AI for example, and they are really pushing that stuff now. There's already Flock Security cameras in some places, which will expand even more if they build 15 minute cities as there will be a couple at pretty much every corner. So there is money to be made for sure and I think this stuff will keep the AI companies afloat. We the tax payers will be paying for it. As far as public facing chat based LLMs that anyone can use, I feel they are going to do a bait and switch and then start charging for it. I try to avoid relying on it too much for that reason personally as I know it's probably going to eventually go away. I think right now AI is still in a training phase where they are using us to help train it and there must be grander goal.
Or maybe not, maybe it will in fact all come crashing down Enron style. We will have to wait and see.

Scratch anti-15 minute city propaganda and you'll find car dealer money.
Oh they wish they could. Apple's stock has been hurt because of the perception they can't do AI.

I can't stand Google anymore. I do not want to use their stupid Gemini as my voice assistant on my Pixel. But when you choose the OG google assistant, they fucking gimped it. Most of the time I say 'Navigate to Costco in XXXXX' it simply says it can't understand. Fuck you Google for shoving this alpha stage AI nonsense into my life with shady tactics with your OS.

Also AI food images when searching for recipes drives me NUTS! They have a better-than-nothing blocker out now:

I use to run a site for a local take-out place since my uncle and aunt owned it so it was a bit of a favour and it was a fairly low maintenance site, since the actual online ordering process was handled by a 3rd party. They sold it a few years ago and this year the new owner decided to get their own webmaster and transfer hosting over to them. The new site is made with AI now including the food images! My site was fairly primitive and 2000's style but at least it was hand coded and the pictures were of the actual food they prepared lol.

I don't mind AI image enhancement for food photography, I use it all the time myself in place of Photoshop to improve lighting & whatnot!
But I don't like AI-generated images of a recipe or food dish for sale because it isn't indicative of what you'll actually end up with.

Microsoft CEO says the quiet part out aloud — AI must be used to do something useful for society, else will lose permission to burn up resources
Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it
NewsBy Tyler Wilde published 5 hours ago
Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.
In a conversation at this year's rich person convention—aka the World Economic Forum—Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI will lose public support unless it's used to "do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries."
"We will quickly lose even the social permission to take something like energy, which is a scarce resource, and use it to generate these tokens, if these tokens are not improving health outcomes, education outcomes, public sector efficiency, private sector competitiveness, across all sectors, small and large, right?" said Nadella. "And that, to me, is ultimately the goal."
Addressing the notion that AI is a bubble waiting to burst, Nadella said that it's only a bubble if tech company partnerships and infrastructure spending are all there is to it. He's confident, however, that AI will "bend the productivity curve" and bring "economic growth all around the world, not just economic growth driven by capital expense."

It's going to need more nuanced applications, like practical robotics, which is Very Hard™ in real-life. A.I. photos, videos, sound, and writing have already achieved peak realism within recent months. Anyone now has the power to create anything they want within the artistic domain, but that's no different than owning an Instant Pot or Anova Precision Oven or an exercise bike or treadmill...mere access to incredible tools does NOT imply universal consistent usage!
VERY curious to see where all of this goes!
