    All to do what? Write emails and generate mediocre pictures?

    The usefulness of AI currently is not much better than predictive text.

      Oh it’s far more useful than that. It’s the shiny new thing that’s going to make a lot of money for shareholders

      Ahaha, yes, exactly, because it is essentially just a turbo charged text predictor with 40GB (or more) of data.

      Hey, hey, now! It doesn’t just write full emails from merely a single sentence… it also summarizes full emails down to one sentence on the other end.

        I didn’t even realize it could do that! I’m going to use this on emails from HR to translate them to simple English sentences.

        “No raises this year because greed”

        “We want you to work Saturdays now”

      I really hope that on-device AI becomes competitive soon. It’s nice to see that on-device is the way large portions of the industry is going, but cloud AI just uses way too much energy. Not to mention the resources required to manufacture millions of large-die GPUs.

      It’s probably naive to think that the corporations that created this problem will solve it, but it honestly seems like the most feasible path forward in the near term. I certainly don’t expect the world’s governments to be effective at regulating AI any time soon.
