Aren’t we all skeptical? What’s the real value exactly.
- n_ary 2y agoIn a sense, internet was this neat thing to share knowledge between academics and all but now we predominantly serve media and ads over it and all the SEO spam that makes real money. AI is now this neat little thing to play around and has some values(non tech people makes MVPs/Emails/Slides, while tech people get faster search and code completion) but who know when the tiktok/fb like moment happens and takes all this AI into rocket to the moon. At this moment, I think, the push is the slow boiling the frog, i.e. hold hard until skeptics just become used to it and then a generation becomes dependent on it, from which point it’ll become everyday necessity and become viable business. I remember the “for cost of your morning coffee, you get this cool slice of server timeshare(VPS)” when people were skeptic until it became the norm. Now even if that VPS costs much less to operate, we still see the sticking “$5” price. May be AI will continue to be that “$30/month” but with advances in computing, it’ll get cheaper and at a certain point, that $1 spent to earn 80c will become 5c spent to earn $1.

- Cumpiler69 2y agoSo then why doesn't this argument apply to AI? Why do people think AI is gonna be worthless?
- high_na_euv 2y agoWhatsApp is data generator AI feels more like data utilizer Sure, you can save the queries, but it aint much
- Cumpiler69 2y agoConsumers are drawn into your service by convenience. They'd much rather get their answer via a quick AI chat than swifitng through pages of your data. Yeah, data is valuable, but if consumers have no easy way to get what they want from it, it becomes useless.
- high_na_euv 2y agoYou answered your own question WhatsApp and AI Chats are different products.
- Cumpiler69 2y agoNo d'uh they're different products. I asked why people would think one is valuable and the other not?
- high_na_euv 2y agoThere can be many reasons e.g WhatsApp is way, way more reliable than LLMs
