Pivot to AI! These companies are going to be in for a rude awakening when the AI scam collapses.

What exactly is the AI scam?

Oh, look! Relevant history! (Hint: companies don't care about actual value if they think there's easy money to be made.)

Uhh… what?

Could you pretend I don’t already know what you mean and explain what you’re trying to communicate a bit?

Exciting new technology comes out

Companies want to profit from it without spending much

Startups, major companies, and venture capital investment groups implement new tech services quickly to capitalize on new trend

Stonks go up

Users coalesce around some major options that have actual ideas outside of "let's start a [new technology] company," most others fail to innovate or offer actual value that meets the wild expectations of speculative investors

Stonks go down, people lose their jobs, tech divisions crumble

Who could have foreseen this!? (See also: blockchain, NFTs, etc.)

Copying everyone’s work and dumping out shitty versions of it. Using people behind the scenes to give your software the feel of having true intelligence. It is a con job.

If I was a Cisco investor, I’d be looking to move my money elsewhere. All these companies laying people off, shuttering whole ass teams, and replacing them with non-proprietary and, frankly, unproven LLMs are going to blow their own legs off here pretty soon. I have a feeling that a pretty dramatic change is AI pricing models is coming soon, since all of these companies are providing access to their models for a fraction of the cost to run them, and the VCs are going to want their money back. Is chatGPT good enough at, what is it, 0.004 cents a token? Maybe, I guess, if the ghost of quality control doesn’t haunt you at night. Is chatGPT still good enough at 0.1 cents a token or more, or with surge pricing models? I sincerely doubt it. If openAI implements surge pricing, stay on the lookout for articles about some company or user getting a surprise bill for a million dollars, AWS-style. Given the current quality of LLMs, I don’t think that the cost shakes out for what you get.

Before we get to pricing, I’d like to see any successful use case in a corporate environment? Not one that’s sort-of working, or obe that hasn’t panned out yet - just a successful, implemented, customer-facing example.

Good point. I think a bigger problem than the customer facing AIs is going to be the internal ones that make shit up. Someone on here claimed to be working somewhere where they gutted their HR department and replaced them almost completely with an LLM that was fed their documents. They claimed the AI had already told them several blatantly illegal things. Any company that does that is just begging to get sued to death, and I’m sure the investors will be reeeeeaaaaal happy with the, what, 1% they saved by killing HR? I mean, HR aren’t the good guys here, but just imagine a company being brain dead enough to say “hey, let’s get rid of the people that keep us from getting sued to death and replace it with a chatbot lmao”.

Davidson will move to a role advising the CEO during the borg

What does the borg have to do with this?

Resistance is futile.
