      "Magic” is just technology that’s sufficiently advanced hasn’t yet been commercially exploited.

        Has it? I mean, all this “AI” news is pretty annoying, but how has it impacted our daily lives? ChatGPT has only made mine better.

          Most search engines are practically unusable due to the massive amount of garbage AI generated sites that take up the search results while having just platantly false information.

            I haven’t used a search engine since I started using ChatGPT. It does all the heavy lifting for me.

              The problem with using it as a search engine is that if it doesn’t know the answer it commonly makes things up. I tried using it for work but it got details wrong enough to make it useless.

                You can’t trust search engine results either. It’s just another tool that you use to arrive at a conclusion. You still have to do work.

                  You could in the past. About 6 years ago or so the top 3 results were almost always correct.

                  Currently you can’t because of the AI generated content that gets things wrong the same way as using an AI as a search engine.

      I saw through chat GPT’s gimmic right away.

      Having said that, image generation to me was and still is magic. Not because I don’t understand it, but because I saw it as a way to get people with imagination but no skill to actually make art.

      Having said that, the reality and how it is used is different.

        I love it for asset creation and texture for games. As a programmer with 0 artistic skill it has been a god send to be able to do far higher quality UI while not bogging down my prototyping time.

        But for like truely unique art… It’s kind of a mess. Like try to get an AI to make a dwarf warrior with a Lance riding on the shoulders of an anthropomorphic cat person, who is dressed in monk robes.

        AI struggles so hard with unique scenes like that… For now…

    What a terrible article.

    TLDR: good inventions lose their novelty and become practical. AI has lost its novelty so it’s about to become great?

    Kind of skips the whole practicality aspect.
