I don’t understand why tech companies are investing so much in AI. Are there any industries that show real promise in terms of revenue or power?

From my perspective it all just seems a bit “kind of useful”, not justifying the expense.

    A fantastic summary.

    Addendum to #2: to add insult to injury, a lot of the training data in AI models was used without consent. That means that the output of skilled people was stolen from them in order to train systems designed to steal from them again.

      The enclosure of the commons. All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
