While it might seem a little extreme, the first sentence isn’t necessarily wrong, right?

While it might seem a little extreme, the first sentence isn’t necessarily wrong, right?
- the_doctah 2y agoWhile it may be technically true, the article simply uses it as a "hook"; and instead of explaining the likely plethora of factors contributing to that, it allows the reader to assume it is because of AI, which is ridiculous.
- GaggiX 2y agoYou should have read the article, they explained it in the second paragraph, and I have no idea why anyone would assume it's because of AI.
- the_doctah 2y agoBecause of the article's title? Why would I want to learn about that, when I opened an article about AI? Let's engage with reality a moment: A country like Kenya "leapfrogged" credit cards because they failed to implement them on a useful timeline compared to other countries. Leapfrogging by falling behind isn't the great example the article wants it to be.
- GaggiX 2y agoThird paragraph: "We believe that the same way mobile payments leapfrogged credit cards in some markets, and mobile phones leapfrogged desktop computers in developing economies, AI too will (at least initially) leapfrog more legacy technologies that don’t have a “good enough” palliative (I mean alternative) in place." >Leapfrogging by falling behind isn't the great example the article wants it to be. It doesn't really matter if you end up with a better solution anyway, it's really the point of the article.

- RhodesianHunter 2y agoThat's not the point at all.
- the_doctah 2y agoThe article has no point. Total nonsense and buzzwords to drive AI hype.
- rsynnott 2y agoI mean, it's true, but it is a classic lead-up to a superficially convincing-sounding, yet incorrect, just-so explanation of _why_ that is. Which they then go on to make.
