If that’s what you want to call it.
I see hypemen overpromising and product underdelivering. And when pressed about specifics, attempts to drown queries in jargon or an ass-covering retreat to treating it like it’s just a tech demo not intended to be used for anything ever.
- lukeschlather 3y agoIt looks like it's capable of anything, so it's easy to point out that it's pretty bad at certain things, but that's an easy way to miss the things it's actually very good at. Also even if it's bad at most things it's still often good enough to be useful. And it seems likely that with an order of magnitude better hardware it might be good at some things that it seems really bad at now. So yes, it's a tech demo for a lot of things that aren't quite ready, and it's also very useful as it is.

I'm not on the bandwagon until i see real money in the bank from large AI projects succeeding. It's not happening yet. I not a naysayer but am still very skeptical.
