I understand we have more advancement with available technology to help make a better effort at making it work, but if you actually read into the reasons for failure of AI in the past it is actually a lot of the points that people are seeing with the current bubble. Diminishing returns and senseless functionality that doesnt even come close to what is promised by the leading tech companies cramming it down everyones throats. 1980’s backpropagation discovery, roomba, autonomous vehicles (kind of working ish), voice command assistants (alexa, etc). None of these uses for AI have actually contributed much benefit to society, and yet this AI push is 10 times the cost and investment than any of those and it has yet to really accomplish much of anything other than basic functional tools that MAYBE make some specific sectors of work quicker and half the time its answers are wrong. I feel like this AI push is almost worse as these companies now have so much government funding and investment that governments around the world fear letting it fail as it will collapse the economy. Are we all supposed to pretend its ROI is actually worth the trillions invested? Curious to see peoples opinions. submitted by /u/Afraid-Pickle-8621
