"so far, the consumer applications for #AI are simultaneously underwhelming and dystopian."
which is EXACTLY, EXACTLY the same thing we were saying no more than 3/4 years ago about the Internet of Things, for the same, equally valid reasons:

@feloneouscat @mfioretti there are at least two huge problems with generative AI that I see right now: first, the capacity for people right now to be fooled by disinfo is overwhelming. LLMs are starting to disproportionately contribute to that ecosystem. Second, the old adage that when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail seems to be thoroughly infecting roadmaps. Much capital is being diverted from things that work at least fairly well to difficult to get right AI features.
