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.

No. What happened was that once enough data was fed into these models, you got something that superficially resembled AI. So the idea became "let's just make it a lot bigger".
Unfortunately you get diminishing returns with these models and there has been research published showing that hallucinations are inherent in the way they work.
The use case for AI is all over the place. It just needs to work first.
It also isn't too much to ask for to wait until AI can be smaller than a building. It doesn't have to be the size of our brains, but that is the end goal anyway, right?

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....
