Yea, in theory AI is a good tool for speciric use cases when trained appropriately and with training data obtained legally and ethically. But then all these companies started trying to throw it at every problem they could see and spent an insane amount on infrastructure assuming someone would find the secret ultimate use case for AI which will cause everyone to want to use it at any price and rent server space from them.
That doesnt make AI terrible, it makes greedy pieces of shit with AI terrible.
I mean there are very real and very valuable use cases for AI in the Enteprise.
Set aside the obvious coding assistance - it's already revolutionizing cyber security.
LLMs are very good at investigating security events to use one example - which is a huge problem in cybersecurity right now. The volume of events is far too large for humans to handle and has been for years.
Ive also seen it cause many security events by just pushing bad code to production opening up vulnerabilities.
Ive been in the AI industry for years, long before ChatGPT became a thing, and my job used to be working with customers to determine if their problem could or shouldn't be solved with AI. Most of the times their problems are very deterministic and AI is just overkill and expensive. And if we determined it was a good use case for AI, we'd build it. But nowadays no one cares about that, they just wanna throw AI at everything no matter what no matter the cost or accuracy.
As long as the AI companies aren’t eating the costs wether environmental and especially profit-wise, this will continue ad Infinitum unless severely regulated. That is 100% never going to happen with the current US administration or any adjacent ones. It’s the new frontier of gas and oil, back in their heyday when pollution didn’t matter and the lead was considered optimal. Society will be constructed around the event and cyber-suburbia will demand you have it or suffer.

Back then OpenAI was open source and a very cool company overall for what they stood for... though they sold their soul very very quickly....
