I was just thinking about this. Who is really benefiting from AI? All the end user has gotten is prompting. Microsoft put it in laptops that spy on your every move and Apple put in the phone that what helps you type better and summarizes things?
Why doesn’t AI just go into GitHub and solve every issue and prepare every pull request automatically. Do we need AGI for that to happen! After billions a and upon spent how has things gotten better for the common person?

Yeah but did it solve a problem?

I think the premise is somewhat wrong.
AI cannot itself solve any problem, because AI is only a prediction model that has been fed the patterns from the internet.
Being just a prediction model it has neither any concept of: problem, solve, etc. Its just the "text spellcheck prediction" on your cellphone multiplied by 10000. There is no self nor consciousness there.
Now, as a tool, its a very useful tool to be able to use the entire internet to predict what comes next in any given pattern, but this still requires a human to direct it and evaluate the outcome.
I think Sam Altman is basically a semi scam artist. He routinely keeps suggesting that chatGPT is something then its not. (ie. he keeps hinting that they have somehow achieved AGI). Its not surprising to me that Sam is a shitcoiner (worldcoin). This fits his modus operandi perfect. Birds of a feather....
Increasing efficiency IS solving a problem of having low efficiency. What kind of question is that?
reply
That’s low hanging fruit for the monetary premium that has to be paid to access the technology.
This statement would make more sense if the cost of using LLM models were negligible but that’s far from the case.
Name one AI company that’s profitable from a business to consumer aspect?
OpenAI isn’t.
