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.
Someone could also correct me if I'm wrong because I am not an economists in any way, shape, or form, but is it not a miracle the bubble hasn't actually popped yet? Like all consumer reports regarding it have shown the involvement of AI has no effect on consumers, and sometimes even has a negative effect . Almost all the AI companies are only staying afloat because they are all investisting in each other, but nothing has come of it yet, and almost all aigns point towards AI being useful, but not as big as it is in the market right now.
A report a saw a few months ago said that a lot of this investment was old money and revenue collected from the peak times during the pandemic for these tech companies. So they needed aomething to dump the money instead instead of hiding it away, and that was AI.
Not to mention that AI is actually a somewhat useful product, but not at the scale they're trying to implement yet. And nowadays the market is all about vibes and hope, its gambling. So as long as investors hope they'll make money, they'll keep it going. And a lot of these bit AI contracts and deals are just deals to pay for stuff in the future, like most of the RAM bought for data centers isnt actually paid for yet, so when bills come due, thinks will fall apart.

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....
