This will crash and burn, as not only is nobody asking for it, it is also exceedingly useless providing predominantly incorrect results, but once it is charged at a level that will return a profit nobody will be able to afford to use it!
Of course there are edge cases where a mature form of "AI" will be useful, but the current engines are nowhere ready yet, and cannot even be considered genuinely AI as they are not truly intelligent. They just regurgitate words, and often in an extremely flawed way.

@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space The term ‘AI’ is applied indiscriminately especially towards Large Language Models, which are promoted as though they genuinely possessed Artificial General Intelligence and were ‘th8nking’ (as opposed to just doing a party trick of predicting one word after another). Unfortunately that bullshit hype then rebounds on specialised tools which aren’t LLMs but are capable of useful work at low power in very specific circumstances. It will be a shame if everything suffers.
