Are we facing a big bubble about to burst? Nvidia, for example, would need 66 years to justify its current price. Robin Li, CEO of Baidu, points out that 99% of AI companies will eventually disappear. Although this has a dark side: the remaining 1% will be those who finally take the lead and master artificial intelligence. A pie that is currently shared by a few like OpenAI, Tencent with its numerous investments, Google and Microsoft with its Azure stronghold.
Artificial intelligence is then faced with an interesting paradigm which could end up destroying thousands of jobs. And leaving aside the endless soap operas experienced in the past between OpenAI – the creators of ChatGPT – and Sam Altman, Apple itself has already had enough of Apple Intelligence and its integration into old and future equipment, and even into languages like Spanish.
And what does the former founder of Apple, creator of the company’s first computer, say? Steve Wozniak says that artificial intelligence doesn’t think and that it “just takes things from somewhere else and puts them in the right place.” Which doesn’t do anything special. With him, they seem coincide more than half of employees in the technology sector, which They claim AI is an overrated tool.
Steve Wozniak says current AI is stupid: “it doesn’t think”
“Woz” doesn’t like artificial intelligence because he says it doesn’t think. What he writes is “flat and boring” and doesn’t seem human. Indeed, despite the advances of iOS 18.2, which will integrate ChatGPT, the model it uses is still somewhat primitive.
And that’s why Steve Wozniak doesn’t have confidence in his future: “he has no emotion.” The gist of his argument is that it is not an “intelligence” and that is true, since it is actually a deep learning model that only offers us answers. by approximations. Big data regurgitated with more or less grace
In any case, he says he is enthusiastic, because it is something that is developing a lot and very quickly. And therein lies its strength. Technology is advancing a lot, so He hopes that soon AI will start to “think”. However, he advocates strict regulation to avoid abuse in contexts such as academia.
The majority of employees in the technology sector – more precisely 51.6% – declare that It’s overrated technology. At least that’s what the surveys show. “The AI revolution has been widely covered, but we have seen far fewer use cases, particularly in enterprises,” points out David Hsu, CEO and founder of Retool. And it continues:
“We conducted this survey and report because it will not be possible to truly benefit from AI without first knowing how it is used. What our results clearly show is that even if AI is not replacing most technical jobs, it is reshaping it, and people are becoming addicted to technologies that help them speed up and strengthen their jobs.
And even though chatbots have been around for thirty years, we are still only a few years away from artificial intelligence. This is just the beginning, and now it’s about building on the foundations. The Internet of 30 years ago has nothing to do with the Internet of today, and AI in 20 years will have nothing to do with ours. Skepticism is justified. But, as happened with the space race, the greater the investment, the greater the progress.
