  You pay for them now, but once they become cheaper and more efficient no one will pay for them, and people will be able to run the models locally. I agree AI is useful, it’s not going away, and will become more accessible and cheaper rapidly as time progresses.

  That’s hopeful, but that’s never how it’s worked before. When I talk about “pop” I’m talking about the financial. I think the debt will pop and a lot of these oddly named AI companies will dissolve with no money. The applications of AI will continue. The dotcom bubble saw a huge financial crash, and a lot of weird internet companies died, but the internet remained and we eventually got Netflix and Amazon, etc.

  AI is a massive bubble, and it will be popping in the next year or so. It will still be the case that no companies are making money from it. Why? Because it makes the technology more accessible, and allows individuals to do things that otherwise would have taken a team without AI. The level of competition is extremely high, and no one will be willing to pay for AI services. Profitable companies with multiple revenue sources like Google and Meta will continue to offer AI services for free, while companies like Anthropic and OpenAI will run out of money.

  I did, it wasn’t better. What “off the shelf” OCR software are you talking about? I tried EasyOCR and PaddleOCR. Llama 4 Maverick has been more accurate.

  What a dumb take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes sense that large companies would be incapable of using it effectively. They rely on antiquated systems and rigid structures that are less likely to change than smaller companies.

  If I have a low ability in that specific area then why was I able to achieve success?

  Yea, you can do that, but have fun doing that 1000 times a day. Manually copying was the problem, I created a system that automated that process.

  Then why was I the one to do it if anyone could have done it?

  Skill issue. I used AI to create a web application that extracts the serial number from an image into text. This allows us to just simply take a picture rather than than having to type the serial number manually while using a magnifying glass. Significantly speeding up the process and lowering error rate.
