[quote=Anonymous]NP. Generative AI is interesting in that it is a potentially breakthrough technology that requires extreme wealth and infrastructure to run. That means a lot of the proponents are people with deep pockets for shaping narratives, paying for hype, sophisticated marketing teams, etc. A lot of the discussion, including negative discussion which posits all white-collar jobs will disappear, is nothing but marketing hype.

I am a sophisticated user of AI and I have been in the field for a long time. These models are great at some things. But they have serious flaws. And I don’t see that disappearing soon.

Take a basic example: ChatGPT hasn’t figured out how to insert ads into its chatbot. It’s basic and if it could be done easily, they would have, to offset their enormous costs. But advertisers will not pay for inaccuracy. They need to know who they are reaching, what they are told, etc. They have to control their product messaging and that does not leave room for hallucinations. Meanwhile, the costs are staggering.

I’m skeptical across the board: it is and will be useful but we are a long way from a full white collar job apocalypse. [/quote]
