Decided to share this video for those who haven’t seen it yet. This obnoxious AI hype is more dangerous than you think.
The industry does not or has not had the next big thing in a while and they are trying to make this one even though it isn’t.
There is some value in generative AI providing general world knowledge and correcting your writing - for learners primarily but I not more than that.
The issue is bias, accuracy, and lack of objectivity with information provided among these environmental factors.
I’m not going to watch a THO video, but water scarcity is a huge issues for many industries/communities. Pointing to one industry and blaming it is silly and counter productive.
As for the prospects of AI, depends on the use case. I’ve seen both concerning and amazing things in my industry from AI usage. Writing it off as just hype is ill advised.
