A.I. wont be a bust, but your investment in something simply because it "uses AI" might not be a smart choice.

I can't blame people for attaching "uses AI" to their pitch to get funding. But I will blame people giving them money for not being able to tell the difference between something revolutionary and something that never needed AI in the first place.

This has been a huge frustration with AI investments as I’m invest in industry and “AI ETFs” just invest in anything with AI on the website. Investors have absolutely no idea how AI works or what it will disrupt, and I genuinely think 99% of all investor sentiment towards AI is non-sense

The company I work for try to add AI/LLM on everything, instead of trying to improve/fix the underlying problem, they now just add the magic AI and everything is “perfect” now.

As an ML engineer and AI developer, I don’t see the real value at all, not to mention the added cost of using LLM

Going down the tangent of people working in the industry...

I unwittingly fell into low-level coding for DL software stacks about 7 years ago.

At first I was merely uninterested in the topic, compared to my teammates.

Now I think there's a serious possibility that LLMs and other new DL capabilities will be a net negative for society. I'm actively trying to get other work.

I know that if I don't do the work others gladly will, but the status quo seers my conscience.
