  I don’t disagree with using unbiased data, but where is yours?

    Data for the claim that lots of tech-savvy people are developing and using AI? Some of the biggest tech companies in the world right now have an AI focus. NVIDIA, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, they're all making massive use of AI. If you want to discount "corporate" tech-savvy people, This page indicates 15 million developers are using GitHub Copilot. Linus Torvalds has spoken in favor of using AI to maintain Linux, if you'd like someone specific and big-name as an example.

      the keyword word you missed was “unbiased”

      of course the AI peddlers will peddle it and their employees would probably be fired if they did not toe the company line

      on the otheer hand, that mit studyshowed 95v of them failed… I find it hard to believe people enjoy failing

        So we've moved from "no tech-savvy people use AI!" to "lots of tech-savvy people use AI, but many of them fail to make it profitable!"

        The Commerce Institute puts that 95% figure in perspective, about 65.3% of all businesses fail by their tenth year. That's not focusing just on a particular industry that's the most unknown and volatile one, that's everything, including fields that have been well known and understood for decades. And I should also note, your source said 95% had yet to grow their revenue, not that 95% had failed - it's only been a year or two for most.

        Your own source provides some other bits of information that support my view, too. Just look past the bias in how it's worded.

        Previous tests show even the most advanced AI products successfully complete only about 30 percent of assigned office tasks.

        Wow, only 30% of office tasks can be handled by AI? Clearly a useless technology, throw it away.

        Or maybe 30% is actually quite an impressive number. Wouldn't you like something that handles 30% of your routine work for you?

        Gartner’s survey of 163 business executives found that half have abandoned plans to dramatically cut customer service staff by 2027.

        So, half of them haven't abandoned those plans.

        Research from GoTo and Workplace Intelligence found that 62 percent of workers believe AI is “significantly overhyped.”

        I don't see a link to that research, but that means 38% don't believe AI is significantly overhyped.

        I never said everyone liked AI, just that lots of tech-savvy people did. I think 38% would count as null

        Basically, you're falling into the trap of assuming if something's not perfect and not universally loved then it must be awful and universally hated. Communities like this reinforce that view, but the real world outside these digital walls is not like that.

      Those are blatantly not people, they aren’t even human.

  FYI: this person is a self-labeled defender of LLM “art”.
