Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like “bro this is so scary how good we made this thing”. Seems like bullshit.

I’ve seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don’t think I’d just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

    layman here.

    probably because…

    • it can sift through alot of garbage.
    • its easy to use. and not complicated to understand its value.
    • its useful. like a super search engine for idiots.
    • it can probably automate alot of jobs. also it can probably correct or coverup alot of gaping flaws that have existed for the last few decades.
    • there’s nothing else exciting going on right now.
    • it is an interesting and valuable tool. progress has hit a point at which it is hard to ignore the achievements.

    ** relating to LLMs/chatgpt types. snarky, opinionated, and somewhat speculative, subjective review!
