AI is going great though, unlike web3. ChatGPT has already achieved mainstream adoption at a large number of major companies. And there were ads using images generated with midjourney at the super bowl.
I like how you didn't respond to the points I made about either ChatGPT or midjourney. ChatGPT has a number of large corporate customers now that use it as a tool in the creation of professional products. And midjourney is still going strong and is widely used, which is why I mentioned the Superbowl.
Yes, gemini images are on pause until they fix the vulnerabilities to abuse. But I use Gemini as the engine for Google assistant on my phone now, so the service is obviously still gaining traction.
Super bowl ads don't mean anything. The crypto world also ran ads before/at the super bowl, look how they're doing now.
Air Canada had to shut down their AI chatbot because it was making up refund policies and costing them money.
New Hampshire is pissed that someone used an AI Biden voice to spread voter disinformation.
If it's not already there, AI is quickly approaching the FO phase of FAFO.
HA. I fucking love that.
Duolingo has dropped hugely in quality (for Korean anyway) just in the last couple months. The AI-generated voices mispronounce so much stuff. I spend more time reporting unclear audio or outright mispronunciations and grammar issues than I do learning. They seem to want their users to be their QA team, but then don't even fix the reported issues. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/duolingo-lays-off-workers-as-it-leans-on-ai-tools-to-carry-out-more-tasks/ar-AA1mKgja
Poor Duolingo. Once upon a time I used it to learn Japanese, but by the time I could start reading kanji and noticed that duolingo was still constructing sentences entirely out of hiragana, I knew I had outgrown it and moved on to Anki.
Using AI to learn a new language has to be incredibly frustrating - you can either tell where's messing up, or you can't tell at all and then you learn incorrect information..
