The AI Investment Boom

I've yet to find an "AI" that doesn't seamlessly hallucinate, and I don't see how "AIs" that hallucinate will ever be useful outside niche applications.

You don't really need to imagine this though - generative AI is already extremely useful in many non-nice applications.

There's a camp of people who are hyper-fixated on LLM hallucinations as being a barrier for value creation.

I believe that is so far off the mark for a couple reasons:

1) It's possible to work around hallucinations in a more cost effective way than relying on humans to always be correct.

2) There are many use cases where hallucinations aren't such a bad thing (or even a good thing) for which we've never really had a system as powerful as LLMs to build for.

There's absolutely very large use cases for LLMs and it will be pretty disruptive. But it will also create net new value that wasn't possible before.

I say that as someone who thinks we have enough technology as it is and don't need any more.

Yeah, they just want it to go away. The same way they wish Windows and GUIs and people in general would just go away.

I'm just tired of all the lies and theft. People can use the tech you want. Just don't pretend it's yours when you spent decades strengthening copyright law then you decide to break the laws you helped make.
