History has plenty of examples of extremely hyped things that ultimately turned out to be worthless or of negative value, too.

- verdverm 1y agoAI will not be one of them, it's been useful since before LLMs and has only become moreso since. They will continue to improve in capabilities and decrease in resources required.
- JohnFen 1y agoMaybe, maybe not. It's far too soon to tell with LLMs. We'll have to check back in a decade or so. (Just a note -- a thing can be useful and still be a net negative.)
- benterix 1y agoYour argument is too broad. You could say that we know today that social media are net negative (because of impact on mental health and many other reasons). Yet, how are you going to measure that? Same could be said about any technology, there will always be some negative aspects.
