Before that it was ‘big data’. remember that?

every 5 or so years the media needs some new tech to hype up to get people paranoid

Exactly. It will lead to improved automation for industrial processes but it won’t ever be a consumer tech other than improving your siri results.

It won’t replace jobs, anymore than industrial robots in factories replace them.

‘big data’ ‘crypto’ etc.

AI is just the next ‘big thing’ that amounts to nothing. 90% of what anyone says in the press/media is total nonsense. And most AI researchers are downplaying the hype because they know it’s all bullshit and AI will ultimately not be a major change anymore than navigation systems in cars was. It is merely convenience and those that ‘rely’ on it will end up in trouble.

It’s a complementary technology, not a revolution.

I mean AI is already generating lots of bullshit ‘reports’. Like you know, stuff that reports ‘news’ with zero skill. It’s glorified copy-pasting really.

If you think about how much language is rote, in like law and etc. Makes a lot of sense to use AI to auto generate it. But it’s not intelligence. It’s just creating a linguistic assembly line. And just like in a factory, it will require human review to for quality control.
