Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about where the current “AI” craze goes in, say, 12 to 18 months’ time, and I really appreciated seeing how @pluralistic gamed that particular question out. https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/
@beep @pluralistic I wonder if big tech is banking on one particular high-return, low-stakes application: search. If people start using chatbots instead of now-broken search, controlling that chokepoint and its associated ad revenue is huge.
