@gerrymcgovern Please distinguish "AI" (which is catch all) from the ChatGPT stuff,. They are not the same thing. Most "AI" is small models that do all sorts of really great stuff like reading text for dyslexic people and routing your post and are vastly more efficient.
Talking about "AI" like that is like calling Bitcoin "The Banking Industry"
A lot of people are betting that a) large models get way more efficient to run and b) far more reliable. If not they will lose a lot of money.
