    A lot more companies are making and saving quite a lot of money because of it

    People downplaying the value of AI are like people in 1993 talking about how the Internet is just a playground for nerds.

      Most companies are still piggybacking off of big tech because of the scale of LLMs. If big tech companies are having problems then everyone else will sooner or later. The more simple ones can probably be done on worse machines but not all and certainly not something on the scale of ChatGPT

        They’re “piggybacking off of big tech” the way every company that uses PowerPoint does

        I’m sorry man but this comment just laughs in the face of reality. The use of AI across the board is skyrocketing.

        I no longer need a video team, or to outsource video content creation, because of a tool we get for $20/month. This is the tiniest fraction of the currebtly-deployed impact.

        My last company implemented AI-run workforce planning, AI-enabled call monitoring that cut out QA team more than in half, and AI chat systems that freed up 80% of our chat team to transition to Live.

        That’s 2 companies. There are hundreds of AI products out there. AI will be everywhere in less than a decade.

          Not disproving the AI will kill too many jobs alegation.
