A wonderfully concise look into why the current round of "AI" hype doesn't quite seem to get the point, and likely won't amount to anything close to what the headline's imply.
On the true value of ideas.
Like the idea was the main thing that mattered, and the pesky task of actually building it was an insignificant little bump along the road to success. At this point I would usually tell them that ideas are worth nothing, until they are implemented.
On how AI may not be the issue, but Silicon Valley culture could be:
The suggestion that some word/picture guessing machine could actually do what I and other creators do is A. offensive and B. obviously just another fantastical idea.
The implementation is what matters… and I’m not convinced the idea guys in Silicon Valley are going to figure it out.
