The better part of a decade, all the resources in the world, and you expect me to be impressed with something that can’t perfectly do an entry level programming project? With that kind of resource usage, I expect a moon landing at the very least.

There is no use case for chat boxes. Uber was losing money, but it was driving people to places. Amazon was losing money, but it was delivering books to people. Chat boxes don’t do shit.

Uber would have failed if their cars just drove in circles. Amazon would have failed if they didn’t deliver anything. There is no real use case for this tech, just like with scam coins or monkey pictures, this is tech searching for a problem to solve.

The most foundational aspect of business is that you gotta do something to get money. What exactly have these chat boxes produced? Shitty porn and incorrect advice. If that’s the best they’ve got after consuming the entirety of human knowledge and guzzling an ocean of freshwater, this shit ain’t going nowhere.

Yes, a pencil can do a whole bunch of different. things. GenAI cannot do things. It has no purpose. Pencils were made to write stuff. GenAI was made to ???. It is a technology in search of a problem to address. A niche to fill. It has no purpose as it stands, yet it is supposedly the most important thing ever to the point where the rich and wealthy are losing their minds investing into it on the vague hopes that it’ll do something. They’ve even got our government in on it; the US economy is being dangerously propped up by this industry that doesn’t solve any problems or fulfill any purpose. All the things it does are novelties and even then, it does those things poorly and unreliably.

Tools at home improvement stores were made to fulfill a specific purpose. GenAI still does not have a purpose it fulfills despite having hundreds of billions of dollars invested, not to mention all the other resources it’s sucking up.

An intern probably would not go on a mass deletion spree. Also, an intern doesn’t eat a billion gpus.

I hope you are not seriously advocating using the lying machine for therapy. You would get more value talking to a finger puppet.
