    Yes, and no.

    The tech is absolutely astounding. Somebody posted a random idea on Facebook and it caused me to make it have a conversation between Fred Rogers and Steve Irwin and it absolutely nailed it. I’ve had it look at pictures of memes it got details like one person looking at another person.

    The power wise, it’s rather unsustainable. There’s a real cost associated with each one of these queries were running and the price to train it with all the data. There are many jobs at which it makes financial sense to pay for it is a service but the vast majority of work or sending off to AI is nothing that anyone is willing to pay for.

    We’re in an AI bubble because we can only make queries against AI as long as Microsoft and Google decide that it’s in their plans to allow us to do it for free.

      You’re forgetting about models that are open source and able to run locally. Llama3 is not the best model, but it’s still very useful and will continue to get better along with the top closed source models.
