OP here to clarify: With AI Hype Train I meant the fact that so many people are slapping AI onto anything just to make it sound cool like at this point I wouldn't be surprised if a bidet company slapped AI into one of their bidets...
I'm not saying AI is gonna go anywhere or doesn't have legitimate uses but currently there is money in AI and everybody wants to get AI into their things to be cool & capitalize on the hype:
Same thing with NFT's and blockchains. The technology behind it has it's legitimate uses but not everyone is slapping it onto things like a few years ago just to make fast bank.
While I understand the use cases for AI (which ar much more limited than people think, but it is helpful)
I didn't found anyone who could explain to me why NFTs are better than rh current money system everyone uses.
The Blockchain is a nice concept, but no one has a real life use for it. Except fraud and criminal payments and gambling.
Blockchain is mostly used for intra & inter company stuff. I know that the tech is interesting specially for logistics companies as it allows for easier fleet management, stuff like temperature controll over the whole shipment, easier location of what is being sent, having easy access to the needed documentation etc.
I am not sure if we talk about the same blockchain.
The crypto blockchain does not provide anything like you mentioned.
Ah, the "Energy expensive, complicated, database"?
Unlike that apostrophe.
Honestly slapping AI onto a bidet might actually make sense 😂
None of this LLM bullshit I'm talking about more classic ML. You know the stuff that has already been in widespread use in medical, civil, and countless practical fields for the last 10+ years. To great effect.
A bidet that targets? Hell yeah.
Rumor has it that a certain super-rich tech mogul has am AI bidet/toilette in his house, that has to be connected to the Internet before it will work. When the Internet glitched (the site went off-line) and lost Internet connectivity, he could not flush the toilette manually.
