This is all so damn shallow, who would have thought the pursuit of artificial intelligence would be so boring and intellectually unserious?
considering it’s an empty hype train to inflate stock prices, it’s not that different from other similar hype trains like crypto / blockchain, virtual reality, etc. - the point is just to make the line go up and to harvest profits from a speculative bubble. I assume the AI bubble doesn’t need to deliver on promises or generate actual value because the people most pushing it are probably shorting it; it just needs to appear like it will generate value and convince the right people to invest so those believers will ultimately be left holding the bag while the people who hyped it up can reap their profits and move on to the next grift.

Grifters are rarely intellectually serious.
