Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained

  Kinda but also not entirely. I know a lot of people who use ChatGPT and other AIs at work and it does basically exactly what they want and just gets better

  I’m not a proponent but the naysayer doomers are almost as wrong as the tech evangelists

  Is it overvalued? Sure

  Is it worthless? Absolutely not

    That’s cool. I have yet to find a use case for AI. Am I doing it wrong or are they just bad with computers?

      I am with gustofwind here. I use AI to help me quickly draft up mindless policies, then read through it and edit it where needed. It is a lot faster than any typing I can do.

      I also use it to help me find configs for stuff I deploy, but I make sure it attaches the source link for me, so I can read the original source docs and keep a sane approach to what I am doing.

      Again, I also think it is way overvalued, but to say it has not helped me build successful stuff over the past 2 years would be a lie. My 2c

        I think my and many others’ problem with your use case is the mindless policy part, not the genAI part.

        We need more mindless policies in this world like we need measles and more holes in our heads.

      Yes, why do you care about the pointless corporate crap you produce . Ai slop is the desired result you are just letting your pride get in the way.

        Products and services have been dropping in quality well before ai slop

        You overestimate the quality of acceptable work in many industries. AI and a little human editing and oversight is perfectly capable of producing legitimate work product.

        The real problem is capitalism driving everything to shit and that really has nothing to do with ai influenced workflows

  Note that Tesla was clearly a viable business, I don’t see the justification for it being 3 times the value of ford, gm, Toyota, and Honda all put together.

  Generally people are not challenging the fundamental possibility of these as viable business, just that they don’t make sense at their valuations.

  Though I’ll agree that open ai particularly should get some skepticism. To the extent that actionable business models might emerge, I don’t see openai actually in a position to be a big party of any of it. Microsoft and Anthropic seem to mostly own business revenue, ChatGPT is generally not even providing the models people select when they are able to choose.
