Grumbles about generative AI’s shortcomings are coalescing into a “trough of disillusionment” after a year and a half of hype about ChatGPT and other bots.
Why it matters: AI is still changing the world — but improving and integrating the technology is raising harder and more complex questions than first envisioned, and no chatbot has the magic answers.
Driving the news: The hurdles are everything from embarrassing errors, such as extra fingers or Black founding fathers in generated images, to significant concerns about intellectual property infringement, cost, environmental impact and other issues.
Same shit that happened with cryptocurrency and NFTs. Suddenly the tech illiterate c-suites realize it isn’t magically making profits go up.
“outside of a few areas such as coding, companies have found generative AI isn’t the panacea they once imagined.”
It certainly helps with coding, but a human still needs to fix all the mistakes.
We are here
Definitely getting to that point, past the peak, but I think we’re a little bit further to the left still.
