Bitcoin has never reached the proliferation of AI, even though some have used it to pay for pizzas. It's 2024, and with AI you can already do: semantic search, moderation, translation, captioning, TTS, STT, context-aware grammar checker, LLM, audio/image classifier, smart editing tools etc... So yeah it's quite different compare to Bitcoin.

And none of those changes the everyday life of most people. Bitcoin revolutionizing banking would, as would generative AI if some new breakthrough was made, but currently the biggest thing it does for most people is that it lets them cheat on homework etc.

  This is incredibly delusional ahaha Just look at how popular TikTok is (it wouldn't be without its powerful recommendation model), or the fact that the majority of the world's population has to rely on translation models and subtitles to translate the vast amount of English text online. Bitcoin is never going to "revolutionize" banking, it's really just a downgrade, no privacy, no fraud protection.

    Found the CCP plant. This example makes AI a net negative.

      Tiktok may be a net negative, but it's clear how it has changed the World for youth who are addicted to AI suggestion algorithms.

    Tiktok isn't generative AI, I don't think you understand this topic. The topic is generative AI, not recommendation AI, recommendation AI doesn't require much investments, the generative AI that companies has poured many billions into the past few years is the topic.

    The recommendation AI portion isn't much related to generative AI, where the former connects existing data points and the latter creates new data points. This TikTok ads team job post[0] does, however, mention "AI-powered smart video generation (we are also exploring AIGC)" (AIGC = AI-generated content) which implies to me that they are looking to genAI to make new content.
