> that companies are currently racing to go to market with some "ai thing" and most are chasing it because it is the "next big thing" in their mind, not because they know what problems for their end users that it can actually help solve. And if you re-read my comment, what I am saying is that while I'm not exactly "racing", I do have a very clear problem for my end users that this actually helps to solve. Its possible I could've cobbled together a similar solution with other technologies, but I didn't see a very clear path forward on this user-facing problem until very recent developments. I suspect that the people in this same boat far outnumber people in the Metaverse or crypto equivalents.
