Mmm, delicious: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/wall-streets-usd2-trillion-ai-reckoning.html

While I do enjoy that this article is pointing out that the AI bubble is starting to collapse, it does still buy into the hype a bit:AI is not going away, and it will surely become more sophisticated over the next few months, to say nothing of the long-term potential.No it won't. "AI" is booming now due to having access to faster GPUs, larger data sets, and people who are willing to plagiarize petabytes of data, but the generated text and images you're seeing now were all possible decades ago; the math behind them hasn't changed. At best, the data it generates is 90% as good as a competent human could do, and when it fails, it fails disastrously. There's no reason to believe that's going to change any time soon.
