Like Facebook chasing the metaverse pie in the sky, but now with multiple giant corporations.
When will they chase innovation with the consumers benefit being the goal, instead of finding ways to extract money from us at the highest margine possible.
Totally - the whole ‘AI is going to replace you’ is a miserable pitch to consumers. I’ll consider subscribing when they find the time to make an AI something with the goal of making my life better.
It’s their pitch to businesses. They haven’t thought about how that sounds to users though.
Fortunately it’s not true. I could turn up to work drunk and do a better job than the AI if only because the AI doesn’t know all of the idiosyncrasies of our system. It’s just a generic “one size doesn’t fit anyone” general solution database. Unless the company wants to train its own AI on its own knowledge base articles (Which of course are out of date) then Microsoft, and others, generic solutions are never going to work.
Even then, an LLM isn’t going to be able to actually diagnose a problem. It’s just very sophisticated word prediction, it doesn’t actually THINK, even if it looks like it does.
They simply won’t. They have been about getting as many businesses into their ecosystem for a while now, that’s all they care about. Pack as many “features” as possible, then extract value as much as they can.

Absolutely. LLMs are the antithesis of innovation. No thinking outside the box, just rehashing old ideas.
