| I gave a lecture a couple of months ago called Developing your AI BS Detector addressing this very topic. https://adamdrake.com/developing-your-ai-bs-detector.html The main thesis is that there seem to be more and more companies out there solving interesting problems, which by itself is great, but they're bolting a lot of wording on top talking about AI. Most of this seems to be an attempt to differentiate themselves in the market and access funding and I find it incredibly dishonest. The whole discussion around AI these days has become so tainted by scheisters trying to attract funding and attention that I actively try to distance myself from association. We need to focus a lot more on Intelligence Amplification (IA) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_amplification), i.e., building tools for humans to become more productive, and less on AI. Douglas Engelbart and others had this figured out 50 years ago (see: the Mother of All Demos). The AI hype is dangerous, since it will no doubt lead to the trough of disillusionment. |
