AI that already has obvious value: - ChatGPT: The OG, most used AI chat. GPT-4/4o/multi-modal is already the prosumer LLM use case - excellent as an office/tech/language/creative assistant. Apparently Open AI's revenue is already in the billions and there's no denying people are using ChatGPT. There are also countless open-source libraries requiring `OPENAI_API_KEY` and many companies allocating budgets for spending there. - LLM summarization: Amazon is already using LLMs to summarize reviews at the top of their product pages, search engines are using LLMs to summarize results at the top. GitHub has an LLM bot that you used to have to wait days for support to reply for - these are popping up everywhere. These will only improve to save people time and surface the exact information you're looking for. It's changing the way people access information and accomplish basic self-serve customer tasks. - Customer service: The text-to-speech AI is getting very very good, to the point you can't tell it's not a human anymore. This alone is hugely disruptive as customer service touches so many verticals. It's already happening and will obviously only continue - especially when you talk to a service agent on the phone, increasingly it will be an LLM text-to-speech agent. - llama.cpp/Ollama/HF & cloud services like Replicate: Infra for companies to run their own models instead of using Open AI due to cost/limitations. Obvious benefit for companies is you just want to pay for the compute you use, not for a consumer product like ChatGPT that abstracts away the usage - Open AI gets very expensive very quickly if using it on behalf of an application with many users. Also for niche use cases it might not be possible to accomplish what you want as an Open AI customer, you might need more control over models. - Midjourney/Stable Diffusion type models: Totally separate from LLMs and language, there are diffusion models on image generation sites like LeonardoAI for creating concept art, illustrations, photography, and other visuals. There is a lot of obvious value here for creative work - it could displace a lot of conventional services and change the way we think about and pay for applied art. It's controversial in the way mp3s were, which itself will spawn some innovation in the legal space and in the way we interact with creative content. - Self-driving cars: People are already taking the rides. AI modeling will continue to play a huge role in automating personal transit, and also for fleets. There will be self-delivering food, mail, and freight. Particularly promising areas considering other modalities and fine-tunes: - Music generation - Film (imagine prompt-2-film) - Extremely accurate/good legal advice where there are no flaws in your case - Medical diagnoses/analyses that are highly specific to your body and full of info and visuals particular to your condition - Negotiation AI for buying/selling, signing contracts for jobs or legal settlements, and general payments/invoicing - General automation ("Call the DMV and ask about my license", "Call the auto shop, don't let them upsell any services") - All the tech needed to integrate this stuff in the best ways
