     @SoylentGroyper Its an all in one computer use agent.
     
     Say youre doing taxes. You get all types of recipets, invoices, documents infront of a camera. The ai processes all of it into a single document filing. In a format acceptable by the tax officer. Save about a days work.
     
     Say you leave it on, connected to your house webcam. It can recognise pets and what they are doing in real time. You instruct it to give you a call if your pet does something stupid.
     
     
     Everything is off of existing infarstructure.
     
     few years and place that ai in a Android body. A slave that can learn a skil in hours and do the menial work.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS the real question is, who needs these features, who wants them, especially once they cost money? Everything is "cloaked" in these cryptic words like "model" "intelligence" "language" and so on. I would simply say this is
     >automation
     >image recognition
     >speech recognition
     >text recognition
     >search engine
     Adobe Reader has something like that, recognizing invoices and so on, but who wants that? Who would want a computer automation to replace a human reading an invoice, something so important, leaving it to the automation to pay money to someone? It's not needed by anyone, it's all a hypothetical future they're investing in.

     @SoylentGroyper Your scope is too narrow. Its telling you that it can take verbal instruction, problem solve, recognise objects and obey complex rules.
     
     Aka: ok see this orchard? Your job js to harvest only the ripe oranges, set them by the crates and sort according to size. Fill out these forms, count them up. And call when job is complete. Learn and improve over time.
     "Who needs that? i dont need that, im not paying for that"
     
     
     
     
     Then your not the target customer, also china isnt selling this stuff to the government for 500 billion. The americans are.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS yes but it's a new product/service that no one has specifically asked for, they (Big Tech) are trying to sell it now, but it doesn't fill a specific need. I could imagine they will have problems turning this into money, to get paying customers for this. No one is saying "gee I need some automation to watch my pet, and write a report about it", I for one wouldn't ever want that. There will be some "niche" industries that can use it, like surveillance. Just like it was with those drones - only very few people bought drones, even though they have been available for years.

     @SoylentGroyper You see the "models" are learning, thats their selling point. At no point was this thread about nvidia or openai

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS it's definitely not worth $500 billion, and Nvidia is a graphics card company with a GPU processor that is not worth $2.9 trillion dollars (its current market cap) just because you can use the GPU to "accelerate" (nothing more) things like image recognition and brute force computing.
     They have "something" that they call AI, but I reject this entire hype and this choice of cryptic words used for it. I call it "advanced automation", "information gathering", "big data", "fuzzy logic", those make sense and cut through the b.s. hype.
