      If the product is as unethical as mass ip theft and replacement of workers with ethics or comprehension skills, then I get the feeling expectations aren’t the major issue.

        There are many ML/AI models that are doing a lot more good than harm. The shitty mass market chat bots and art generators are mostly hype and greed.

        But Mathematics, physics, healthcare, and many other industries have embraced models that accomplish amazing things humans with similar resources just could not.

        It’s a problem of application.

    That was to be expected. It’s not the answer to everything and has inherent limitations that can’t be solved quickly by throwing money at it.

    The problem is that so much money is tied up in this. It has been pushing up the stock market. People have been fired because AI was going to take over the job. There fallout from that is going to be painful. Dot com crash like, maybe subprime mortgage crash painful.

      Yep. And folks on the news are gonna be all confused how this could happen.

      They laid off their talent to bet on bullshit. That’s how it happened.
