  You will never achieve long-term relevance, by chasing immediately available buzzwords

    How long does AI need to be used, and how much demand needs to be sustained, for it to stop being called a "buzzword"? I'm a little dubious that NVIDIA became literally the most highly-valued company on Earth off the back of a mere "buzzword."

      It doesn’t seem like end users are the ones demanding AI.

        I am an end user and I find it quite handy for a number of applications.

        The reasoning "I don't find it useful and therefore nobody finds it useful" is common in these sorts of threads.

        I’m an end user and I demand text to speech AI

      Can you reminds us what the current state of NFTs is? Or most crypto? Web3 tech? This is next.

      Of course Nvidia are the highest-valued company. They capitalized on idiots misusing the technology, until it created issues in society, for personal gain.

        Can you remind me how those technologies are related, other than the mere accusation of them being "buzzwords"?

        Cryptocurrency is actually doing fine, BTW. Just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean it's not useful to other people.

        Why are you explicitly picking those examples, and not things like IoT, DevOps and Edge computing, all buzzwords, all successful and still in general existence today?

        You’re cherry picking failed buzzwords and using them as proof that “AI” will fail.

        To be clear, I agree that LLMs are bullshit for 95% of applications they are being put into. But at least argue in good faith.

        How do any of those things have anything to do with LLMs? You’re just listing a bunch of random tech that isn’t particularly impactful and claiming that another unrelated thing must be a failure.

      AI may have its uses, but the easy counterpoint to your argument is to look at FTX at its peak and where it is now (bankrupt). The stock exchange is the exact opposite of rational, and is terrible at estimating the use one can get out of tech.

        FTX was a cryptocurrency exchange, how is that remotely similar to NVIDIA?
