    There are lots of equally intensive AI models being used for various sciences. Being put to use in medicine, physics or even climate research.

    Here’s an article going into how AI is helping accelerate important worthwhile research

      Those aren’t being sold to the general public, though. Those have value; the shit being put into our phones and operating systems or controlling search engines and allowing people to have AI girlfriends does not.

        True, but the research put into such things does translate into other far more beneficial areas. I say let those corporations spend the billions of dollars, eventually the consumer side will peter out but the knock-on effects for AI in science will continue for years to come

      Yeah, i hate how LLMs are getting lumped into actually useful machine learning stuff that has been in development for years without all the hype and idiot CEOs trying to use it to layoff useful employees
