He is absolutely right about that.

I had yet another tiring conversation about AI usage with my boss at work the other day. Had to look at examples from competitors and how they use AI. What can I say? It was slop. Felt off. It wasn‘t the worst thing I have seen but god damn the shit people suddenly look past when AI is involved drives me up the walls. That lack of quality would not fly if I delivered them. But when it‘s AI people half their expectations apparently.

So yeah props to Suda 51 for not conveniently starting a tangent about AI when discussing wages with his employees.

Ai video and image is useless unless you are trying to spread misinformation easily. There is no usecase. Especially for that much of hype.

I wouldn't say there is "no" use case.

For example, a friend of mine is landscape gardener and he regularly uses AI to basically help customers understand what he plans and how it would look. I made him a small webapp where he can simply snap a pic and writes a prompt like: "To this garden, add a small, round base filled with pebbles in the middle, add a bench and two metal poles left and right". AI generates the pic, he rewrites the prompt a few times and once he's satisfied, can show it to the customer who then exactly knows how it looks. He used to do that with photoshop himself which took him a lot longer and customers were more often unhappy with the outcome because the picture didn't show it as clearly as the AI generated pictures do, so he had to do some adjustments, which obviously eats into the profits.

So yeah, there is actually a good amount of use cases. However, none of those use cases requires literal trillions being pumped into the AI industry.

Except, spreading misinformation:)

I've found some very limited use for house projects so I can show my partner what I'm thinking of instead of trying to sketch something. Visualizing house paint also made getting HOA approval much easier. It's all stuff that could have been done with a pencil and paper or with regular photo editing software instead, though, and absolutely doesn't justify the costs.

The AI edit to show house color also made some weird structural changes, like changing light fixtures, adding gutters, and replacing a retaining wall.

"kinda" is an understatement.
