Generative AI is awesome but also crazily overhyped.
Remember when Siri / Alexa / Cortana / the Google thing were the big thing?
Now presumably there are more Alexas in cupboards than anywhere else.
- rurp 3y agoThat Corey Quinn article is great, thanks for sharing. It's a more thorough mirror of my own experience with Q. After seeing the obnoxious popups all over the AWS docs I tested it out with a few simple questions about AWS services. My main takeaways were 1. It refuses to answer a lot of simple questions. 2. It provides a lot of factually incorrect answers. I didn't even try any complicated or subtle questions; it failed at simple factual asks. So many companies are rolling out obviously half-baked and useles Gen AI features that I would be embarrassed to release. All of these terrible user experiences must be damaging some company reputations. The only justification I can see is that many large corporations care more about being able to tell investors and journalists that they have checked the box on having the latest shiny trend than they do about building actually useful tools and user experiences.
