The really weird thing is that Big Business actually is buying supercomputer clusters to do just that. I can't really talk to the government side but a lot of businesses' early forays into AI was just slapping a chatbot on their product and hoping it'd attract a lot more business. I also think you'd be surprised how integrated really dumb chatbots are into business communication these days.
I think most smart people are looking seriously at different models to try and improve the accuracy of any existing ML uses they had in their business but the new features built post-ChatGPT tend to often just be fancied up chats.
- chickensong 11mo ago> just slapping a chatbot on their product That's happening of course, but that's not really the whole picture. Any org that already invests in R&D is likely considering or already implementing modern AI tech into their existing infrastructure. A big oil or pharmaceutical or materials company likely doesn't care much about chat bots, or any customer-facing tech for that matter.
- refactor_master 11mo agoActually, big orgs are doing exactly that; slapping a chatbot onto their support ticket backlog. Being really, actually “data driven” is hard, and must happen from the bottom up. So instead there’s chatbots in their frontend and support backend, but the backend doing the actual lifting probably hasn’t changed one bit.
