Questions remain about what spurred the board’s decision to oust Altman, but growing tensions became impossible to ignore as Altman rushed to make OpenAI the next big technology company.

How do you think that something people are already using to type out dull, routine emails is some kind of fad? It saves time, if you don’t have to spend an extra minute typing out a routine confirmation email, why would you?
Being a fad is relative. Something that’s hugely popular and being brought up in every industry as a world changing technology for a while before normalizing as something useful in a few areas but not a good fit in many others qualifies as a fad in my book. Most tech fads never go totally away because they’re not useless, they were just overblown.
Generative ML models certainly are useful and extend what we think of ML traditionally being capable of doing. But the current worldwide AI madness is not due to the merits of Gen ML, it’s because it’s marketed as AI (which to 90 percent of the population means what AGI means to nerds) and makes people think “we’re about to be in terminator any second now” when in reality it means “hey my autocomplete isn’t totally crap anymore”
I love how your reply everyone agrees with that this is another tech fad…just like the .com boom…yet my reply has everyone disagreeing with calling it a fad lol.
You nailed it though. I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to who think this is legit terminator level AI…or nearly there.
Gotcha. I think you’re right about fads, and I agree.
generating emails that is the worst possible use case of ai. just send me whatever you feed the ai to generate the world salad. i don’t need the word salad, there is nothing wrong with being brief and to the point.
Because sending and receiving dull emails isnt real work. AI has only replaced bullshit, so far. It just isnt worth the billions these companies claim it is until they find a product and sell it.
It’s a shame no one has invented copy and paste yet.
Hello,
Thanks for your message. I’ll check the sales figures out as soon.as.I can.
Best regards

I couldn’t have opened any AI thingy in the time I typed that.
Okay, now imagine you have to type out a formal email but are typically shit at that kind of thing.
That was a formal email.
But imagine you were shit at writing formal emails. Sure, right now you can knock something like that out sooner but that’s because you know how to do it.
