    AI is already VERY successful in some areas, when you take a photo, it is treated with AI features to improve the image, and when editing photos on your phone, the more sophisticated options are powered by AI. Almost all new cars have AI features.
    These are practical everyday uses, you don’t even have to think about when using them.
    But it’s completely irrelevant if I can see use cases that are sustainable or not. The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.
    Of course all the biggest tech companies could all be wrong, but I bet they researched the issue more than me before investing.
    Show me by what logic you believe to know better.

    The claim that it needs to be strong AI to be useful is ridiculous.

      The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.

      They have literally invested billions in every single hype cycle of the last few decades that turned out to be a pile of crap in hindsight. This is a bad argument.

        And which are those? There is no technology all major tech companies have invested in like AI AFAIK.
        Maybe the dot com wave way back, but are you arguing the Internet came to nothing?
