The big difference is that smart phones and centralized internet are somewhat useful. Smartphones at least. Centralized internet… meh, but maybe a dependency.
AI is useful in only very niche and intentional cases. A ‘generic’ LLM is pretty bad at almost everything.
If ‘AI’ had been sold more like: “Give us a year of data samples from your production line and we can use ML to optimize time and temperature based on current weather patterns…” (real world use case I was working in on 2019) etc. then they would have really made the world better. Instead, I have crappy clippy constantly reading my email and suggesting words I wasn’t going to type*.
I don’t understand how corps accept the idea that their internal emails are no longer internal, since everything is sent to chatgpt/copilot/gemeni/etc as it’s created. Shouldn’t Legal have thrown a tantrum over this?!
