Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off

Yeah, so far. It’s super early in the modern incarnation of AI that actually has the chance to pay off, LLMs.
This isn’t like Bitcoin where there’s huge hype for a pretty small market opportunity. We all realize the promise, we are just still figuring out how to get rid of hallucinations and making it consistent and tuned to a certain business usage.
Well, and also navigating the minefields that the LLMs absolutely have copyrighted material in them that wasn't paid for or licensed. E.G. Dall-E can produce a full image of Fresh Cut Grass, a character owned by Critical Role.
And that the stuff they produce *isn't copyright-able.
And that the stuff they produce isn't copyright-able.
Even if that were true, is there no value in public domain art resources?
Not to the companies looking to use AI.
Exhibit A, Disney, a giant megacorp whose most famous works are literally founded on public domain material.
Bear in mind that public domain is not like a copyleft license, it's not "viral." If I make a movie and the Mona Lisa shows up in it, that movie is still copyright to me even though there's a public domain element in it. It's even easier with unique AI-generated stuff because you can't even tell what's public domain and what isn't.

Image recognition AIs are already paying off, specifically in the medical technology industry. 90% of radiologists are gonna be out of a job within 5 years (just my personal bro take).

It’s not “paying off” as this isn’t implemented anywhere, thus not making money.
I think you’re way off the mark and buying into the hype. That’s my opinion from an electronic medical record software analyst.

You need to talk to your radiology department then.

I’m in cardiology - radiology is right across the hall. We’re both under ancillary services.
None of this is implemented so none of it is paying off.
Also nobody thinks this will take their jobs, because it looks like Theranos to us, in that it’s very hyped in tech and ridiculous to those of us in the medical field.
