‘Overhyped’ generative AI will get a ‘cold shower’ in 2024, analysts predict::Analyst firm CCS Insight predicts generative AI will get a “cold shower” in 2024 as concerns over growing costs replace the “hype” surrounding the technology.
Honest title: lazy analyst pretends to be smart recycling an overused Gartner graph
an overhyped thing won’t be as hyped in the near future?
who would’ve thunk
Seeing people say they’re saving lots of time with LLMs makes me wonder how much menial busywork other people do relative to myself. I find so few things in my day where using these tools wouldn’t just make me a babysitter for a dumb machine.
It’s great for programming and writing formal messages. I never know where to get started on messages so I give the AI a summary of what I’m trying to say. That gives me a very wordy base to edit to my liking.
It’s great for writing latex.
latexify sum i=0 to n ( x_i dot (nabla f(x)) x e_r) = 0\[ \sum_{i=0}^{n} \left( x_i \cdot (\nabla f(x)) \times e_r \right) = 0 \]Also great at postioning images and fixing weird layout issues.
You don’t need a LLM for converting pseudo code to Latex. LLMs surely help at programming (in my experience), but I feel like your example is really giving them justice :p
Yeah… as a Product Manager, dealing with a lot of text based tasks, I really expected to find it more useful than I actually have. I’ve not really been able to use it for writing documentation and sending emails, because it matters to me what is in those and I have something I want to say in them.
The only way I could really consider offloading these tasks to AI is if I just stopped caring what went in them.
I use them to make worksheets for middle school students and to quickly write lesson plans from ideas.
I use AI all the time in my work. With one of my tools I can type in a script and have a fully-acted, fully-voiced virtual instructor added to the training we create. Saves us massively in both time and money and increases engagement.
This is how AI will truly sweep through the market. Small improvements, incrementally developed upon, just like every other technology. White collar workers will be impacted first, with blue collar workers second, as the technology continues to develop.
My friend is an AI researcher as part of his overarching role as an analyst for a massive insurance company, and they’re developing their own internal LLM. The things AI can do will be absolutely market-shattering over time.
Anyone suggesting AI is just a fad/blip is about as naive as someone saying that about the internet in 1994, in my view.
I’m an analyst too, and I analyse that you’re gonna go fuck yourself.

Bubbles: Well that depends; can you go fuck yourself?
