AI is everywhere. Is it all it's cracked up to be or is it one big scam? Well, as it is for most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode we see how, despite some of AI's useful contributions, the hype has also impacted the tech industry negatively.

thinking AI is doing your self checkouts and then finding out its just 1000 people in India watching the cameras 24/7 sounds like a good south park episode

I work in an aerospace MRO company and the marketing team is now labelling EVERYTHING a computer in our company does as “AI powered”…
Literally techs that existed decades ago (FEA simulation, self-filling forms, automated tool management system, data analytics tool, etc) is now “AI powered” just because they r jumping on the trend.
Management is now even encouraging engineers to consult chatgpt for our calculations… while i know for a fact it cant even convert some units correctly.
This is ridiculous

Economics have been sounding off on just how bad they think the next downturn might be. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement

AI has replaced between 60-100 people from the company I currently work for... And complaints from clients have Great informative video. Thanks 😊

What surprises me the most is the fact that Amazon was trying these "walk out" stores in the US where people already perfected this type of shopping.

...actually just some dude halfway around the world remotely turning your steering wheel.

Imagine buying an AI Sex Bot only to find out that it is just some guy back in India.

"Oh no! Not a 225K fine for literal fraud!"

SEC is a joke🤡🤡🤡

I worked for an accounting company from France that used hundreds of cheap laborer from Madagascar to manually input data from photos of actual bills people uploaded believing it’s OCR. Nowhere they mentioned it’s all done manually.

Wait, Amazon did something dishonest and unethical!? Gosh that's so out of character for them...

I say an advert of either Twitter or Reddit yesterday by Samsung stating that their new vacuum cleaner, not an automated one like a Roomba but a handheld one, used AI. It's a handheld vacuum cleaner.

In the 1970s and 1980s, it could have been said that computers would not replace accountants, bu accountants who use computers would replace those who do not.

Let's not forget, Mark Cuban was 100% all-in on NFT's and defended $43 million Bored Ape prices.

Cleaning toilets for a living might be the shittiest job I've ever had, but at least AI is unlikely to replace me.

[StarNumbers]

Very nice. AI is creating holes in the commercial processes rather than leveraging them up. For example, customer service is suddenly weak or non-existent. The company managers expect some form of AI to step in but it is not happening. I've just returned a second tablet because I could not get problems resolved. It seems as if the quality testing people just vanished. It seems that I the customer should apply the resources and fix the problems with the product I just purchased. NO, my expectation is to have a working product as promised!

The biggest sign we are in a bubble is experts saying we are not in the bubble.

[washingtonradio]

My problem with AI is it is fundamental a statistical model based on large amounts of data. The key is the quality of the data initially used and used to update the model. It doesn't actually think in any real sense of the word. AI is very susceptible to "Garbage in, garbage out".

[wildflower]

Sir I would like to point out a misconception in this video. In any given company 3 people in a group don't output 3 peoples worth of work. 1 person in the group produces 2.5 while one of the other two gets promoted for their hard work and manager skills.

[rollface]

I remember when the dream was for jobs to be replaced by robots. It's just that that dream was based on the idea that that meant that people could spend their time with leisure activities, rather than dying of starvation in a gutter.

[bolle]

Just wait until they find out that every Alexa actually has a tiny person in it.
