Can AMD compete with AI GPUs that are used not only for inference but for training as well?
As someone who is paying $20/month for chatgpt I think this AI thing is going to crash hard. Don't get me wrong, it's very useful in the right hands and for the right situations but you have to know what you are doing and be able to interpret the slop and misinformation that will sometimes sneak in with the good information. It can be dangerous in that respect. I see it more as a very advanced library of information with some analytical chops.
I see the "smarts" of AI hitting an asymptote very soon. The models are ridiculously large and already showing minimal gains for huge expenditure in hardware and power. Furthermore, AI doesn't have the motivation, drive, desire for fame, power, wealth, and sheer sense of satisfaction that a human does when they solve a problem or create something. If it did you could tell it to "cure cancer" and it would get to work. "I need this, perform this test, do that, etc..." It is a very smart database, not a mind full of ideas and possibilities with real ability to infer and make mental leaps, sometimes even silly ones that turn out to be not so silly. AI will be relegated to "lab assistant" or "junior engineer" whose work will always need to be checked by an actual person with skin in the game. All that being said, yeah it's freaky smart, but still just a bunch of weights and inferences.
