| I mean I’ve not had any problems with whatever the macOS built in one is, but document recognition is a a tiny part of the industry and isn’t involved in the hype bubble at all. The stuff with Python->traing->??->$$$ is what I don’t buy: First: the “AI” stuff is “generate content with no obvious financial value to anyone”, chat bots (which no one I know actually seems to want), or “maybe better predictions”. Second: the “person can do X with AI with less training” etc is not a value of AI, it’s just a product of improved libraries and UI for putting things together. It doesn’t mean the thing they’re doing with AI has any value outside of bandwagonning. Third: the reason for AI start ups is just that training costs a tonne of capital - and VCs love throwing cash at bandwagons so there’s a pile of “AI” startups, all of which offering essentially the same thing below cost in the hopes that they’ll magically find a profit model. Finally: there’s already near enough on device processing power on phones for most actual practical uses of “AI” so the need for massive gpu rigs will start to tank especially once the hype train dies off and people start asking what is actually useful in the giant AI startup buzz. Each of these things is going to result in the valuation bubble for nvidia collapsing. Mercifully I don’t think there’s any real harm in the nvidia valuation bubble (congrats to the folk who made well on their RSUs!), but I still don’t think the valuation has significant longevity. |
