    No, that’s google. A leaked memo indicates that they deliberately made search worse so people would have to search twice and see twice the number of ads

    AI companies lose money every time someone uses it. Even those that charge per-token

    That is just utter bullshit. Hallucinations are a by-product of how LLMs work under the hood, not an intentional design choice. An AI that doesn’t make mistakes would be orders of magnitude more profitable.

    This is inaccurate. What’s currently happening is that the AI companies are throwing away money because they’re riding the bubble.

    What they pretend they’ll be able to sell is a replacement employee. Of course we’ve seen that in most fields, AI is not nearly good enough to replace us, and probably in most fields it never will be.

    What you’re pointing out is one way to generate more consumption of AI, and that would be monetizable if AI were actually making money on queries. But right now it’s losing money on those queries.

    And when we’re done fixing, we’re unnecessary and have time to eat the rich \o/

    One can dream … why not replace billionaires with AI too?

    Also, when you get used to relying on ai, you lose the practice and forget part fo your knowledge and skills. So, if you try to stop using ai, you will first have a steep decrease in productivity as you have to resharp your skills and remember a lot of stuff, and that creates a barrier preventing people from going out

    Not to be that guy, but that’s some weak ass strawman bullshit.

    Surely you can think of a more solid point of critisism than whatever that was.

    I use local AI models to improve my process. I pay zero, and they do a pretty good job of taking the grunt work out of my tasks

      I use AI for first drafts of work frequently. I’m also in the process of building a chief of staff agent, which it pretty cool. I pay $30/month. Not bad.

    It’s not that. It’s the idea that by being right just a bit more times than wrong, statistically this would bring out good results if you try it enough times. If that doesn’t happen, it’s really your fault 😀.
