Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like “bro this is so scary how good we made this thing”. Seems like bullshit.
I’ve seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don’t think I’d just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?
It is extremely useful in the right circumstances. When people say it isn’t useful or that it’s ‘stupid’, they’re not looking at the proper use cases - every tool has good and bad ways to use it (you wouldn’t use a hammer to peel an apple).
For example, we will soon have fully rendered smoke simulated at real time in 3D spaces (ie. video games) because we can calculate a small portion of how that smoke looks and then have AI guess what the rest looks like (with shockingly good results!)
AI is not a fad, it’s not going away, it’s improving rapidly, and it is going to massively change our digital world within half a decade.
