Agreed. I have yet to see any evidence that AI companies are actually thinking about what they’re saying. They’re just trying to move markets and make money.

Agreed. I have yet to see any evidence that AI companies are actually thinking about what they’re saying. They’re just trying to move markets and make money. In some cases they’re saying two different things. For example, Microsoft (arguably more a general software company desperately chasing AI rather than an “AI company”) would in one breath have you believe that the modern workplace will not survive without AI, while in the next breath Nadella is on the record noting that AI can’t exist without an ROI, and they’re not yet seeing an ROI that justifies it generally. The OpenAIs of the world can’t imagine a world where the premise of their product isn’t the default/a given, so they simply engage as if their vision is entirely sensible.
