Though clearly AI has value, it seems in practice much of it is implemented for things of questionable human value.
Some examples:
1. Search (some argue the heavy personalization has made it actually less accurate, but that's subjective).
2. Computer vision (main monetization seems to be computer vision/filters. Self driving cars will be useful if and when that comes to fruition)
3. Handwriting recognition. I think this is a great example of AI being helpful. I'm not sure how much of this is "AI" vs. just statistics and machine learning. Maybe it's all the same, in this context.
- forgottenacc57 10y agoIt's a funny thing that handwriting recognition is seen as worthwhile. Who writes by hand any more, and who prefers handwriting to a keyboard?
- tabeth 10y agoYou don't have to actually write for it to be helpful. There are billions of handwritten documents out there already. OCR and handwriting recognition can help with archiving.
