The AI hype will pass but AI is here to stay. Current models already allow us to automate processes which were impossible to automate just a few years ago. Here are some examples:

  • Detecting anomalies in roentgen and CT-scans
  • Normalizing unstructured information
  • Information distribution in organizations
  • Learning platforms
  • Stock photos
  • Modelling
  • Animation

Note, these are obvious applications.

I agree with most of you what you said, but I'm really conflicted about it.

On one hand I hate the abuse (mental as well as physical) young women regularly go through in the modeling industry, but on the other hand losing yet another outlet for human creativity also sucks.

You know what pisses me off?

My so-called creative peers generating AI slop images to go with the music that they are producing.

I’m pretty sure they’d be up in arms if they found out that an AI produced tune got to the top 10 on Beatport.

One of the more popular AI movements right now is DJs creating themselves as action figures.

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

I mean much of the hype is warranted I just wish every man and his dog would spare us their personal revelations about it on LinkedIn.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 16 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

OP here to clarify: With AI Hype Train I meant the fact that so many people are slapping AI onto anything just to make it sound cool like at this point I wouldn't be surprised if a bidet company slapped AI into one of their bidets...

I'm not saying AI is gonna go anywhere or doesn't have legitimate uses but currently there is money in AI and everybody wants to get AI into their things to be cool & capitalize on the hype:

Same thing with NFT's and blockchains. The technology behind it has it's legitimate uses but not everyone is slapping it onto things like a few years ago just to make fast bank.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 minutes ago

The technology behind it has it’s legitimate uses

Unlike that apostrophe.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

While I understand the use cases for AI (which ar much more limited than people think, but it is helpful)

I didn't found anyone who could explain to me why NFTs are better than rh current money system everyone uses.

The Blockchain is a nice concept, but no one has a real life use for it. Except fraud and criminal payments and gambling.

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Blockchain is mostly used for intra & inter company stuff. I know that the tech is interesting specially for logistics companies as it allows for easier fleet management, stuff like temperature controll over the whole shipment, easier location of what is being sent, having easy access to the needed documentation etc.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Ah, the "Energy expensive, complicated, database"?

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 2 points 9 minutes ago

I am not sure if we talk about the same blockchain.

The crypto blockchain does not provide anything like you mentioned.

Honestly slapping AI onto a bidet might actually make sense 😂

None of this LLM bullshit I'm talking about more classic ML. You know the stuff that has already been in widespread use in medical, civil, and countless practical fields for the last 10+ years. To great effect.

A bidet that targets? Hell yeah.

I very sadly don't see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Reason they're willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they're being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.

AI, in some form, is here to stay, but the bubble of tech companies shoving it into everything will pop at some point. As for what that would look like, it would probably be like the dot-com bubble.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Yeah.. tech companies need to chill out with "jumping on the bandwagon" and actually innovate

[–] qnvx@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

AI is both overhyped crap and a revolution.

[–] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

AI is here to stay imo. This is not crypto

[–] debil@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Sure but this is about AI hype.

[–] ragas@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Did you see crypto going away anywhere? Because I sure as hell didn't.

Don't forget "THE CLOUD" and "IoT"

[–] mansmaan@lemm.ee 1 points 39 minutes ago

What the hell. Cloud is real.

[–] ragas@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours ago

The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

We also got:

  • cyber: the realisation that the internet exists but 20 years too late
  • big data: companies snorkeling your data for targeted advertising and government surveillance
  • blockchain: safe ways to pay your dealer and investment scams
  • VR: the weirdest sort of corporate meetings and some cool game experiments

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.
