    Amazon isn’t a good comparison. People need to buy things. Having a better way to do that was and is worth billions.

    There is no revolutionary product that people need on the horizon for AI. The products released using it are mostly just fun toys, because it can’t be trusted with anything serious. There’s no indication this will change in the near to distant future

      People don’t need to buy anything over Amazon. That’s not a need.

      There is no revolutionary product on the horizon!?! I’m not sure how to respond to that.

      you think It’s all a scam and everyone is in on it?

        You say it like it hasn’t happen this fucking decade, multiple times over.

        Yes. It is all a scam and the people cheerleading it are either in on it or one of the “useful idiots” (to paraphrase Lenin’s purported catchphrase) that all scams need to continue.

        And you think these “smart people” can’t be taken in by such an obvious scam? Madoff ran his really obvious scam for seventeen years before he got caught out. It turns out the “smartest people in the room” aren’t quite as smart as they thought.

          I wonder how smart one must be to see past everything ai already is and what it promises to see it as scam. Probably way more than the hundreds of millions of people using it every day.

            Just need a sense of history. The AI sector has scammed over and over and over and over again. This upcoming “AI Winter” will be the sixth.

            Oh, and you need to just pay a bit of attention when you use the damned thing:

            This was from two days ago (2025-06-07), so not an “old model”. Looking at what ai already is and we’re seeing fundamental problems in counting.

            You know, that thing you likely learned so long ago you don’t even remember having had to learn it.

              You are pointing to one current flaw of ai and extrapolating that the whole thing is a scam?
