The AI boredom - Antonin Carette
…to avoid wasting energy (and money) on summarization algorithms. " I don’t share the same enthusiasm as the tech world about the current generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) products because:
There’s not a day goes by when I don’t hear, or see, the term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) somewhere. AI is everywhere, is the “new trend” - or “tech bubble” - in the Tech Industry, and here to stay for a while.
However, I’m sorry but I don’t share the tech world’s enthusiasm for the latest AI products. Actually, I feel pretty bored.
For more than a decade now, AI has achieved great progress—from groundbreaking scientific advances (e.g., AlphaGo, AlphaFold, YOLO, live segmentation of videos, etc.) to… ugly content generation for multi-billion-dollar companies.
Unfortunately, AI has now become synonymous with “LLM” (large language models) in the tech world. As a former AI engineer trained in what we now call statistical machine learning and explainable methods, this trend irritates me to no end.
