There’s definitely a lot of people overhyping Generative AI. However there’s a marked difference between it and crypto in that it provides immediate value to the lay person with very low risk to them. Stuff like summarization or scribing audio or text transformations. The other day I was in a fabric store and overheard the cashier telling her coworker that she likes using ChatGPT to help write emails to vendors. It’s that kind of accessibility that crypto never had that AI hype is banking on. Now the big issue is scalability. Everyone is showing off these massive models that are still expensive to run. Very little delivers at that quality while being able to run locally for a user. Without being able to run locally, it’s very expensive for the companies. My biggest worry is that true mass consumer facing generative AI will be orders of magnitude less useful than the expensive cloud backed models.
