Probably diminishing returns, lack of ROI, and end user frustration.
Also the readability of that chart is bad and they should feel bad.
My grocery store app has 0 need for “AI” in it.
And yet, someone wasted over 100k I’m sure to implement it in a rush.
All so a shitty LLM can surge electricity prices and halucinate what aisle you can find canned fruits on.
You know, the thing the search bar did, perfectly, every time, in a millisecond, with a thousandth the power draw.
I wish every single thing didn’t get propped up as a paradigm shift into the fucking future.
Crypto and Ai can just exist as tools and not he hyped up to infinity as something they aren’t, but lo and behold, walstreet and the tech oligarchs need new products and “wave of the futures” to dangle over everyone’s face from fad to fad to fad to fad.
“Hey, wait a minute guys. Why don’t we stop with the accelerationist bullshit and make people’s lives better?”
“lol as-if!”
I believe the oligarchs have given up on innovation. They used it to become rich, then they bought innovative companies to incorporate their products, now they buy them to quash anything new.
At this point, if there is anything that makes it past acquisition size, they all have to jump on board and bet the farm on it, because they can’t risk being the only ones that don’t have “it.” It’s better for your career to have “it” and it flops, than not to have “it” at all.
But I agree with your approach: crypto and LLMs are tools that can be tremendously useful. Just don’t pretend they can do the impossible.
