This. The hype is getting out of control. Bet money we'll have a bubble 1 or 2 years from now. It was the same with crypto bros, etc... Heck, even zuck is steering away from vr and going all in with "AI".

It seems like there are a lot of practical uses for generative AI where that was never clear with crypto. It is very easy to imagine how this type of technology can be applied to everyday tasks. The same can't be said about crypto.

  While I do think GPT will be quite useful, it's revisionist history to say that people weren't talking about crypto or Blockchain being transformative during the peak of the hype cycle. Plenty of people talking about how blockchain was going to disrupt supply chain logistics, bank settlements and identity management.

    The similarities stopped once GPT started providing actual real value right here, right now, while blockchain is still stuck in speculative talking.

    I think the difference is that most people have a difficult time imagining what disruption to supply chain logistics looks like. But thanks to ChatGPT and Midjouney it’s very clear what AI writing a poem or generating an image from a description looks like.

Indeed. 'Crypto' used to mean 'cryptography'. Now it apparently equates to 'NFT'... and zuck will likely soon re-rename his company to metai over all this hype.

  And Musk will make a new company called Hent AI for all of your art and recreation needs... Will be a big hit in Japan.

Generative AI, just like search engines and all the recommendation system, will be a part of our daily life. I think the next generation will have a hard time to imagine a world without generative AI. Just like while I was born before google, I've forgotton how to look for very specific info in a physical library.

Uses I've had for crypto: 0 Uses I've had for GPT: Um, lots. Like, "Hey GPT, dump out some code that does this.... no I'm getting this error with that code. Ok, your last version worked" I consider a piece of software that provides me useful tools not hype. ChatGPT has provided me with not hype. Also, if we somehow magically got AGI this week, we'd have a shitload of problems the "This isn't AGI" people have not thought of yet. I hope and pray we are not able to figure out AGI soon because it is simply going to be the most disruptive thing that has ever happened in human history.
