Yeah, I don’t get it either. I read that only 3% of companies using “ai” saw a return on investment. Companies started re-hiring the humans because the “ai” turns out to be shit. We can’t even produce the power to run these models at scale.

If you happen to want to know more on why, there are 2 podcasts that talk about this on a very regular basis: Deep Questions with Cal Newport - super chill guys that every week has an episode on ai reality check. Usually explains quite at length why something is happening on ai why is factual or not Better offline - Ed can be quite opinionated and sometimes borderline ranty, but he also tends to breakdown stuff like financial numbers on ai investment and why (or why not) you should break those down.

Because AIs don’t need salaries, don’t unionize, can work 24/7. For some tasks, AI has already completely obsoleted humans. An AI can write a shitty PR filled newsletter faster and cheaper than a human. It keeps getting better at certain tasks, like programming. All AI companies want to be the one that controls the best AI. Because if they do, then other companies will pay them to rent out AIs for cheaper than human labor. Companies fear falling behind. So they dump loads of money into AI. And currently, investors like hearing about AI. So the more companies say and push AI, it increases investment into the company.
