I think AI could have a good tool for specific purposes and also a very lucrative business if only they had not thrown all that money at it.

The extreme investments forced them to roll it out prematurely over a much larger market that it could ever supply in a meaningful way.

They're trying to force a camel through the eye of a needle.

They have been able to use it on less powerful deceives lately. I’m waiting for something like an ebook reader to be able to run an LLM. Imagine you forget who a character is and the on device AI parses the whole book and explains what you have forgotten.
