AI or LLM? The money flowing into the market has allowed for a lot of fuzzy data analytics to be "automated" and cross checked by people. Satellite image processing is a huge market that leverages this. We're not counting cargo container turnover in ports by hand, or with basic tools any more. The LLM side yes. There are tons of marketing and content farms that are making heavy use of these tools. This was already a bottom of the barrel market and the decrease in price + increase in volume has been a win for those who embraced the tech... there are fewer people working making a bit more money. There is a LOT of nonsense out there that is NOT delivering. Flooz and Beenz... |

I wrote a cloud detection algorithm that would run well on a 20MHz microcontroller powered by 4 AA batteries. But my bosses were worried they couldn't find devs to replace me if I retired, and figured a CS intern and a trained dog [*] could train a CNN to do the same thing. $600k and 2 years later they got something that worked until the dog got a better job and the intern returned to school. None of the surviving engineers could make heads or tails of the solution so they hired a PhD to replicate the work. After publishing his research paper he left and found a job at an east coast university.
So... Sure... CNNs are doing all sorts of things, mostly things we did with DFTs in the past and not quite as well.
* the joke here is the dog does the technical tasks while the intern's only responsibilities are to feed and walk the dog and give it a treat when it completes it's user stories before the end of the sprint.*
