off-brand post but did you ever watch your partner talk about a special subject you know nothing about and find them insanely attractive? Like god yes baby tell me more about Warhammer lore I’m getting like 50% of it but I love the way those cheekbones look when you smile

panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!!
panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions

You know what? Let's talk about why this bubble actually inflated!

So, let's start simple: the term "artificial intelligence" is bastardized to the point it effectively means nothing and everything at the same time. When people hear "AI" they think of an autonomous intelligence that can do things for them, and generative AI can "do things for you" like generate an image or text "from a simple prompt." As a result, it's easy to manipulate people who don't know much about tech into believing that this will naturally progress from "it can create a bunch of text for me that I have to write for my job just by me typing in a prompt" to "it can do my job for me just by typing in a prompt."

Basically everything you read about "the future of AI" extrapolates generative AI's ability to sort of generate something a human would make and turns it into do whatever a human can do, all because tech has, in the past, been bad at the beginning and linearly improved as time drags on. 

This illogical thinking underpins the entire generative AI boom, because we've found out exactly how many people do not know what the fuck they're talking about and are willing to believe the last semi-intelligent person they talked to. Generative AI is a remarkable con — a just-good-enough simulacrum of human expression to get it past the gatekeepers in finance and the media, knowing that neither will apply a second gear of critical thinking beyond "huh guess we're doing AI now."

The expectation that generative AI will transform into something much, much more powerful requires you to first ignore the existing limitations, believing it to be more capable than it is, and also ignore the fact that these models have yet to show meaningful improvement over the past few years. They still hallucinate. They’re still ungodly expensive to run. They’re still unreliable. And they still don’t do much.  

Worse still, ChatGPT's growth has galvanized these people into believing that this is a legitimate, meaningfu…

Think of it like this: if almost every single media outlet talked about one thing (generative AI), and that one thing was available from one company (OpenAI), wouldn't it look exactly how things look today? You've got OpenAI with hundreds of millions of monthly active users, and then a bunch of other companies — including big tech firms with multi-trillion dollar market caps — with somewhere between 10 and 69 million monthly active users.

What we're seeing is one company taking most of the users and money available and doing so because the media fucking helped them.  People aren't amazed by ChatGPT — they're curious! They're curious about why the media won't shut up about it!
