AI is everywhere. Is it all it's cracked up to be or is it one big scam? Well, as it is for most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode we see how, despite some of AI's useful contributions, the hype has also impacted the tech industry negatively.

thinking AI is doing your self checkouts and then finding out its just 1000 people in India watching the cameras 24/7 sounds like a good south park episode

Frr
AI: All Indians
That's brilliant 😂❤😅
Lol

I work in an aerospace MRO company and the marketing team is now labelling EVERYTHING a computer in our company does as “AI powered”…
Literally techs that existed decades ago (FEA simulation, self-filling forms, automated tool management system, data analytics tool, etc) is now “AI powered” just because they r jumping on the trend.
Management is now even encouraging engineers to consult chatgpt for our calculations… while i know for a fact it cant even convert some units correctly.
This is ridiculous
I've used ChatGPT for some summaries on scientific sources and the same with Bard. They literally invent sources that do not exist... No idea how someone can trust those things.
Indeed, LLMs are prone to factual hallucinations and should never be used for complex calculations
Recently I came across the term "Generative AI based design solutions" which is nothing but good old topological optimization.
Are you making parts for Boeing, by chance? 😅
@@TBolt1 no haha we deal with maintenance and spare part installations, so after-market stuffs.

What surprises me the most is the fact that Amazon was trying these "walk out" stores in the US where people already perfected this type of shopping.
🤣
Hard to beat that one!
Especially in New York now lol.

This is gold 😂😂😂
Let's not forget, Mark Cuban was 100% all-in on NFT's and defended $43 million Bored Ape prices.
This ^^^^^

What's crazy is that he still defends it. I feel bad for those who blindly trust billionaires and end up betting their house on such stupid things
Mark is a fraud
AI has replaced between 60-100 people from the company I currently work for... And complaints from clients have increased..... Great informative video. Thanks 😊
lol, Go AI go Broke
Of course they have- company is dumb for thinking the transition would've been smooth
That's why it's important to enrol in Google's IT support 👏🏻
AI will improve considerably in a very short timespan. Humans won't. This is a moot point. It's akin to looking at the first cars and saying "Look, when they crash there's a far higher chance to die than if you just have an accident with a horse!".
@@LeoVital and? the goal of those companies is to make AI Autonomous,
they're not planned on making people to operate AI? because what the point of that when AI can Generate Prompt and keep churning stuff without needing input from anyone.
it's like an assembly line
you're the victim as well, and UBI won't come because it's a financial suicide.
without a job or money, are you prepared to sleep on concrete?
My problem with AI is it is fundamental a statistical model based on large amounts of data. The key is the quality of the data initially used and used to update the model. It doesn't actually think in any real sense of the word. AI is very susceptible to "Garbage in, garbage out".
How are humans any different? Garbage in, garbage out applies for humans too.
Correct! AI is just a statistical predictor.
@@herp_derpingsongarbage in and garbage out humans are useless for business and productivity. Similarly, AI is useless if it generates rough output but at the bottom a disclaimer is written "Generated results may not be accurate". AI is also useless if it gives garbage out for garbage in.
True dat.
As shown by AI projects that ended up being racist. The good old Chan of 4 figured out decades ago that these things are only as good as the information they're served. Back then it was just chat bots, but the same principle applies.
They're not sentient, so all of what they are is based on what we tell it to be.
I worked for an accounting company from France that used hundreds of cheap laborer from Madagascar to manually input data from photos of actual bills people uploaded believing it’s OCR. Nowhere they mentioned it’s all done manually.

I work full time as a dishwasher at a big restaurant. I can never be replaced by a machine or AI. Feels good.
@@MargaritaMagdalena I know what you mean. My job requires typing up reports on computers, cutting grass, picking up stuff and other things that will never be replaced by AI. Until we get actual androids.
@@hashtagunderscore3173 Yes, there's more to a job than its secsyness. Doing a job that can't be done by a machine or AI is secsy too.
AI is like 30 years ago when Intel used the term "MIPS" to promote CPU performance. MIPS stood for "Meaningless information to promote sales"
I programmed in MIPS in one of my electrical engineering classes for microprocessors a long time ago. It was hard and tedious.
@@Marrow9000I suppose that is why x86 codebase for Windows was the only one that was stable even though Windows was originally intended for MIPS because they thought it would be the future
Oh come on.
Wait, Amazon did something dishonest and unethical!? Gosh that's so out of character for them...
Right?!!!
Damn, this must be a one time occurrence! I doubt it would ever happen again, they are obviously the must trustworthy company in the world.
Am I the only one that refuses to support their business model? I feel like every other door has 1-2 packages from them every day.
Shhh Bezos is listening!
Pssssh... Amazon doesn't give people jobs, Amazon bad. Amazon gives people jobs, Amazon bad. Can't they do anything to please you people? Leave Britney Alone!

I would go further: we don't actually have AI. We have machine learning, which has shown itself quite good at faking intelligence, but not actually intellifent. ChatGPT, under the hood, is an overpowered autopredict.
Overpowered autocorrect is still pretty nifty, but it falls way short of what all the hype would have people believe.
This! It's a mix and match data sorting machine on steroids.
But it's not sentient or sapient.
I'm scared of fungus computers though.
Those might become self-aware.
@@oompalumpus699 probably not
We don't have human intelligence yet.
The typo and nonsensical word "autopredict" in this comment is just so deliciously ironic.

I read that Nvidia provides tech for crypto mining services/blockchain transactions. Could the current crypto pump be attributed to Nvidia’s great earnings and should I hold some crypto as well, cos tbh I’m having FOMO with the current crypto price at 64k.
Microstrategy CEO bought $155million worth of bitcoin, so yes BUY!
It’s going to be a wild year for these sectors, so you should def. invest in crypto. 60% of my portfolio is spread across tech stocks, crypto and Crypto/Gold ETFs.
well the crypto market is expected to do way better than any other equity sectors this 2024 especially with the SEC crypto ETF approval but it’s a volatile market nevertheless and if you’re new to it, it’s best to reach out to an experienced manager for proper strategy.
Yes, my manager spread my assets further into mutual funds and crypto Etf and boy am I glad. The whole idea is: Don’t get too greedy and also to exit at the right time, so generally I do find having a manager very helpful, because what Avg. Joe really has time to watch and comprehensively analyse the market.
could you recommend some good advisers? don’t get me wrong, I already have an asset manager, but he seems not to know much about crypto.
Just google Sonya Lee Mitchell and do your own research. She has portfolio management down to a science
When an industry focus on announcing eye-catching gimmicks rather than trying to solve the long-standing, fundamental problems(like instability and hallucination) of the technologies itself, you know this is a total scam.
This is true of all computer dev. If something is a buggy mess and they just keep announcing new features, it's because the project has no intentions of ever releasing.
Exactly. Look at the world using Microsoft OS when it's more broken every update... LOL
wow, incredible take! no one ever thought of that!
because those are fundamentally unsolvable
In a US university a PhD scholar submitted her university PhD thesis , after a month she was fined and lost her degree for plagiarism, She had used Chat-GPT to write her thesis
I worked with a company offering AI-powered coding services. While their AI models worked well 85%-90% of the time, it still wasn't good enough on its own. The models would hallucinate small, but important details that made the code unable to compile or unsafe to run. This meant that *all* of the code had to be manually reviewed, edited, or rewritten. It wouldn't surprise me if some executive decided to replace all of their developers with AI, realized that he screwed up, and then rehired people to do most of the work they were doing before under the guise of "supervising the AI".
I think the point is that you can replace 5 juniors software engineers with 1 senior software engineer
AI is not ready yet to replace humans where it comes down to language and rational/logical reasoning. Even GPT-5 may not cut it, as it remains an input-output system.
What company? What software? Any data to back that up?
@@dk109k2dask9 I very much doubt that. LLMs struggle with basic logic. Often the error they make, render the code completely useless since its just the wrong approach.
@@dk109k2dask9 short term it works however, not having fail safes makes that 1 senior position dangerous due to... 1. being overworked, creating more opportunities to overlook mistakes/make them. 2. consolidation of all that work makes replacements harder to come by, meaning if someone quit for higher wages the replacement will most likely be worse due to starting salary being lower, and needing to learn everything. .... It honestly feels like AI in the long run if used for corporate gains only will be a mechanism of enshittification of the cogitive experince of work... and if left for long enough people will forgot what good service was... and accept.
A friend of mine is an electronic engineer with +30 years experience, so he started working with paper and pencil.
He once told me :"now with a computer I can do in a few hours what once would have taken me days of work,
but I still have to stay at the office 8 hours every day".
I don't know what's gonna happen with the job market, but one thing's for sure. The rise in productivity is goign to go all in the pockets of the proprietors.
What did you mean? your friend says that the computer allows him to do work in a few hours, but he deliberately does not use the computer? does he use pen and paper instead? so he increases his time in the office?
just there's not gonna be a rise in productivity with this one
@@user-bm4yf6td7d I mean that legal full-time job contracts require a person to work 8 hours a day back then as much as they do today.
On the other hand productivity has increased enormously because of the advent of the computer. Just compare doing multiplications on paper to doing it with a spreadsheet.
So the point is that even though you produce much more wealth through labor nowadays thanks to computers, the daily routine of the average worker hasn't changed, 9 to 5 it was and 9 to 5 it still is.
@@user-bm4yf6td7d Three decades back, what an engineer could achieve in an 8 hour shift, takes only 8 minutes to do with today's computers, however the engineer still need to be at the work place for 8 hours. Similarly, after some years, what today's computer does in 8 minutes, could be done by AI systems in 8 seconds, still those who utilize these in their profession, would need to spend as many hours at work, as they do now. Improvements and innovations in technology is not decreasing the total efforts what humans need to put in life. It is not increasing anyone's leisure time. All gains go to performing more complex tasks in shorter time frames, and more such tasks.
Absolutely.
It all serves big tech interests. All of these gains, as it has been traditionally, go for the expansion and benefit of the company and its shareholders, and not the workers themselves.
This trend was established decades ago, before computers were even close to going mainstream.
Either enjoy serving them, or rise against it and change this corrupt socio-economic system.
I think the masses have already made their choice, even if naively.
I am a programmer and I have fully embraced using AI technology the moment it was available. Working inside of these tech companies I can comfortably say that AI is not the reason for tech layoffs. In fact the majority of the companies I work for will not even allow the use of it within the company. The bubble may be making companies more comfortable greatly cutting staff in the promise that they don't need those workers but its not reality. Most of it is being driven by market uncertaintay due to insanely high interest rates to curb inflation. Its a sledge hammer that kills the entire tech industry.
It's also the end of the pandemic, so people aren't spending as much time with tech products while not working. And the VC funding bubble popping due to higher rates.
Thank you for sharing, I think AI is the scapegoat so no one panics about a slow down coming
for me, i used to work with developers and at times interns, to develop features that company needs, we plan and get dev or intern to develop
lately, what i need, i need to plan, write a prompt, or multiple prompt, make very minor finetune, and ai (chat gpt 3) does the code.
its not perfect, hence the multiple prompts, but it gets done fast and with intern, sometimes after 2 week either they cant do it, or its done but not exactly what i want or i just hear technical BS how its not possible..
it scary, but its the reality
Interest rates are ok, they were insanely low before.
I'm also a programmer and that's exactly what I see. I'd also like to add that it doesn't replace a junior dev, I use ChatGPT-4 daily and at most it replaces google search but it's often wrong and I have to resort to google because it makes up bs.
I think it's important the customer service chat bots swear when appropriate.
i would love it if an AI helper heard my complaint and said ‘godDAMN that’s terrible lol’
"Anyway, I'm kinda busy rn so take your complaint somewhere else alright?"@@WeeWeeJumbo
That's a joke, right?
Companies have forgotten the fundamentals part that makes the economy turn on a macro scale: you need a consumer to sell a good or service. B-B businesses will see more short term success, but where will you turn when that business money dries up from B-C due to less and less revenue from fewer customers with discretionary income.
Their shortsightedness will be their legacy and their downfall.
In my country, there are literally freelancer jobs where you identify text in an image and put it in a document.
I looked into the company paying for these freelancers and they market their service as 'AI-powered' image to text conversion.
Thats an image annotator job, It'S the same thing the "Amazon check out ai is just 1000 indians" is based on, It IS Training an AI / ML Model, You are Annotating Images for their MAchine learning algorithm so it can Eventually do it solely by itself, reliably.
GPT 4 by openai was annotated by thousands of kenyans but the company they used now shut down because OpenAI can now use GPT 4 to annotate things for GPT 5 after reaching the performance threshold of a "low skilled worker"
Wow. Hmm privacy issues?
In a US university a PhD scholar submitted her university PhD thesis , after a month she was fined and lost her degree for plagiarism, She had used Chat-GPT to write her thesis
isn't that data classification for training AI models? AI needs to be trained off of verified data. People need to say "this is a cat" thousands of times for an AI to recognise what a cat is. Although identifying text is a bit of a rudimentary task at this time
Incidentally, Amazon operates a crowdsourcing platform called Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Honestly AI is the biggest "Fake until you make it" i've seen in a good while, it's sad but it's the current gold rush.
No! It depends on the industry and use case. Sadly, there aren't very many practical A.I use cases. It's mostly akin to a very sophisticated toy. However, a toy that can be very lucrative with integrity, sustainability and judgment. It's really mostly lip service with already establish corporations that gives it worth rather than the A.I alone.

Such a great video, AI is such a marketing buzzword these days for anything where the computer seems to "think" for itself

I think AI will end up the same like Blockchain, Web3, NFT, and all other dead project.
here the thing, AI is Unpredictable and Uncertain,
because they often give you a false information, you'll be forced to Triple check each Results.
it end up becoming way slower than if you just google it yourself.
things like booking Appointment, buying ticket, and Checking schedule,
AI often gives you the wrong information.
also if you generate 10 times, 7 out of 10 they'll give you a different answer,
and i bet you'll stop trusting AI, and it's only as useful as a Party trick like Siri
and this will build a sense of Distrust amongst users,
where instead of taking Risk of being wrong or end up in embarrassing situation,
they would rather do it themself and not using any AI App.
like do you feel comfortable to book Hotel, rent a car, or buy a new Iphone using AI alone?
Then business will also stop using AI before they do a Major mistake, Marketing Blunder, Lawsuit caused by AI.
even right now, there are already ton of Self driving car accident caused by AI,
AI is more dangerous than a Traditional programmed Algorithm

AI in itself isn't even that big of a deal. It's been around since the 60s. AI is just a slightly fancier linear algebra algorithm, at the end of the day.
I'm old enough to remember when Transputers, Robots, and Expert Systems were the tech darlings pre-public-internet.
Before 2022? I feel old... I was using LSTM neural networks back in 2016 since that is what was THE THING to use and what replaced my general reccurent network models. I read the "Attention is all you need" paper when it published but never really used it activly. Before that I made my own frameworks for ANNs in C++ with genetic algorithms back in 2010.
What got me started was a neural net image classifier winning a competition in 2009-2010 where they classified handwritten digits from the MNIST dataset. The graphics that was made in a video about it here on youtube regarding how the net "sees" these numbers was amazing and changed my life. I knew I had to know more about and have loved ANNs and AI since.
Deep learning is overrated to be honest. It's just a pile of obscure models that can hardly be deciphered.
You forgot to mention what Google did with the Bard Gemini AI chat , people thought that the AI was talking in real time because it sounded so casual and natural , but it was a lie, they manually prompted the responses and added them , their excuse was " We wanted to show how the tech will look like in the futue " 😂😂😂
WHAT!!!!..Who the hell did i chat all my feelings with.
@@MrRahulKumarKandula You're chatting with the a.i. It would cost a nonsensical amount of money for people to do it
As someone who works customer service for a tech company, I'm planning on going back to school in 2026 to get a new degree. I've already survived one round of layoffs, but I don't anticipate surviving many more. Our leadership has promised profusely that AI won't replace us, but they're already trialing it on some of our tickets. One of my close friends is on the team that's testing it, and he's horrified because he knows he's helping train the machine that will eventually replace him. But that's the project he was handed so he doesn't have a choice.
All of my siblings are very into tech and the future of tech. They remain purposefully oblivious to why I'm so scared. There's the chance that the bubble pops and it's all hype and dies away. But I doubt it. Companies smell a savings. And they don't really care who or what they destroy in the process.
True. Corporate leadership only looks out for the balance sheet. Never trust them to look out for your well being. People need to look out for themselves.
@@Iron-BridgeThe shareholders also need to see that growth no matter the cost

What’s incredible to me is that every company AI service I have encountered so far have been the most frustrating unhelpful tools ever. They don’t know what you want and they can’t problem solve at all. There’s no humanity there and personally I find myself getting much angrier when there’s no person on the other end bc I can cuss it out with no consequences. And then when you do make it to an actual employee they have no training and can’t help you either. I don’t think AI is the future. It takes too many resources we already have too few of. The tech industry has one of the most corrupt and morally bankrupt work cultures I’ve seen. It takes a lot of background infrastructure to make these systems work and truly I don’t know how much longer until the whole system collapses in on itself.
That's because the technology you're being sold doesn't at all do what the media hype is trying to convince you that it's capable of doing. It's not some magical thing where you ask it a question and it pulls an answer for you out of its "database of knowledge." Seriously, just look up how this tech works and you'll come to the same conclusion that it's "just a more sophisticated version of autocorrect."
Same things. I see many companies labelling something ai when its just some basic python function.
Lots of them are also just wrappers for chatgpt, which I find hilarious.
Yeah an algorithm that changes from feedback is now AI
That explains all the "object-oriented" tech support. Not FUNCTIONAL.

This was an AWESOME conversation. I appreciate you and your team for educating me about AI. A lot of what you said provided food for thought.
This is a conversation that all of us should be having. Let’s be honest, corporations/company’s (different industries and in tech) don’t have a great track record for ONLY creating positivity for consumers or their work force (e.g. Enron, DuPont, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, etc.). So hearing CEOs were not being fully transparent was NO SURPRISE (NDAs are a thing, right? 😂😂).
Continuing to educate ourselves about the subject and being real about what humans are capable of (Good, Bad, and Evil) is one way to not be taken by surprise. Keep your ears to the ground in your company and have your own side hustle, because no one is immune to a pink slip 📝 ❤
REALLY REALLY Good video! I don't think AI is causing layoffs as yet... at least not in terms of the most recent progress in generative AI over the last 2 years but I think we might be seeing more subtle efficiencies brought about by process/job analysis and software solutions to simply get stuff done better. A classic one (which is actually AI) would be the call center AI's that take your name and account number. Likely these get your details up on the screen of the agent when you speak to them, likely cutting a minute of say an average 8min conversation. This means something like a 13% efficiency in call throughput for agents available, meaning it's possible to cut 13% of staff from that section. This is a fairly extreme example though. I genuinely think most of it will be around simply the adoption of tech for efficiencies rather than AI.
Mark Cuban saying we aren't in a bubble is the biggest indicator that we Are in a bubble 😂
Yeah lol. There would be AI IPOs left and right if interest rates were low, that's why they aren't. Existing, large companies are definitely hyping it up

People don't understand that the value of their stocks are not simply StockQuantity X MarketValue, and they don't realize that behind the market price, there are many orders placed for stocks to buy below market value and to sell above market value. People mass selling their shares at the market price causes the highest buy orders to be filled automatically, so when too many shares are traded too quickly, the market price will drop. If it drops too quickly, people will notice and either panic sell or "buy the dip", but if overall sentiment is that they would prefer to get out now to either pay off loans or play it safe, the price plummets and the people that "bought the dip" end up "holding the bag" i.e. they overpaid for something people don't value anymore.
tl;dr The market price is an equilibrium determined by buyers and sellers, and when too many people speculate on the value to be very high, this inevitably leads to a mass selloff and price drop because you will always have wealthy investors that understand that the bubble can't go on forever, and some big investors took out large loans to invest that they need to pay back.

I think the largest hurdle for AI is going to be reliability, especially if it is going to be integrated into engineering / healthcare. I don't want to constantly have to baby-sit, fact-check, and correct output from these models. If I'm going to be paying a subscription fee that's more expensive than Netflix/Disney+/etc (for my work, not leisure), then I'm going to want these models to not just write correct and efficient code, but secure code as well. Without more reliability, A.I. will always be a tool for people who don't know what they're doing, which is fine if you're a hobbyist, but not if you're a professional.
Don't worry. Some overworked folks in a Data Center in Mumbai will review the output beforehand
Exactly the point I'm bringing up as I have the impression that AI is good when it doesn't need to be precise. I tested it with a simple question (how many times further away is the sun compared to the moon from earth) and it came up with the wrong result. But it tends to work when there is some leeway like language, pictures etc. Bottom line: It's painful to trust a system when you know that from time to time is gives erroneous answers.
Well spoken. AI has been praised for 30 plus years now despite it still being bad when industries are trying too hard to make it replace humans in every activities
I would argue the opposite point. Due to hallucination, Large Language Models (not all of AI) will continue to require human supervision. But you need experts to discern hallucination, not "people who don't know what they're doing". So for the time being, LLMs are most useful for professionals.
The question is if double checking it is faster than doing it yourself. Those are the use cases, few as they are.
Been following along that better part of the decade! THX a lot Dagogo!
The song at the end had me thinking "eesh, not sure why Cold Fusion would stick this on the end" then I read the it was made by AI and everything makes sense. Those music making AI's that are being used recently feel like they will be even more impactful in general life/pop culture than anything visual AI created. They hit differently, interesting to see what the next CF video has to say about those.
kinda doubt they'll even be able to outperform stock music

I worked for a company that claimed they leveraged AI powered system. It was just a room of people there was legit no AI. I went on to work for the same guys at a new tech company and they were doing the same thing except this time they laid off my dept and claimed the AI was doing it now lol

Turns out, there was a guy under the table operating it.
Also, people back then called each other NPCs.
That is, an insult for a person who is more machine instead of human.

*FANTASTIC TO FINALLY SEE PEOPLE CALLING THIS HYPE OUT.*
I'm an aerospace engineer (by degree) who works in industrial control systems and the staggering amount of nonsense I hear on AI is ridiculous. In the early 1990s I had neural nets and how they actually functioned explained by an electrical engineer who'd worked on them while at University. The origins of neural nets goes back to the 1950s BEFORE the emergence of digital computers.
The first generation neural nets were fundamentally analog computing devices set up for complex calculations. The YT channel Veratasium did a good video on what analog computers are, why they were used in the past and why they have potential applications again today. AI (as we know it) is basically digital versions of analog computers and being digital they can be scaled up to immense complexity in a reliable and repeatable way.
The most important thing that I see people misunderstanding is that these AI systems DO NOT THINK, but instead they CALCULATE ANSWERS to very complex statistical math. We see this most often when the search box on YT or Google starts giving possible questions as we start typing. Its *CALCULATING* the most likely search to what you are typing.
I BLAME the promoters and media pundits for this misconception.
Agreed... but firing all these people probably has even less to do with AI... I'm no economist but all these companies sales and revenues have slowed. THAT is the likely culprit, these massive companies are thinking scale and employee pay is a large cost for running a business.
As for AI, I don't think it will replace any jobs (even programing jobs), these jobs will always be TOO specific for them to be replaced by a computer.
@@qazmko22Also what the real economy is doing and what the bs money print part os doing are 2 different things

Great video! I had a similar suspicion regarding the rational for current tech layoffs…
I went to a Google event last week, and Gemini gave this as a response 'Nike is the sponsor of Real Madrid'. There was a spanish guy in the room who almost choked to death laughing.
I don't get it...
@@MarvinPowell1 they've worn Adidas since the 90s and as far as I'm aware have never had a kit made by Nike. Their rivals Barcalona have the Nike deal
@@MarvinPowell1Real Madrid is a football team (aka soccer in usa) in the Spanish league,which is sponsored by Adidas not Nike.
@@MarvinPowell1 The AI mistook Madrid for Barcelona. In Spain, this is heresy of the highest order.
@@MarvinPowell1 wtf dude? you didn't get the joke, must be an American 😂
the layoff come mainly from the very high number of hires in the previous 5 years.
0% interest rates made it dirt cheap to hire anybody for any R&D project.
Now that interest rates increased, those companies fired the non-essential workers in 2022 and 2023. And now, they also stopped a few R&D (or moonshot) projects to focus on money making projects resulting in more layoffs.
AI has nothing to do with that. Even more, those big companies hired a lot of people to work on AI related projects because that could result in so much revenue.
Also, if you've ever used those AI language models to code or to do anything other than basic stuff, you'll realise that it cannot replace even part of the jobs of evn junior employes
Don't forget the forgivable PPP loans that most companies took out to buttress uncertainty were actually used to over invest on the expectation of further loans, those have likely dried up by now
Anyone who worked in manufacturing during the "downsizing" years can spot the hole in the plot is actually the tech firms are recording massive profits because they are laying off highly paid human workers en masse. At a time when profits are not presentable to stock holders, this is a typical quick fix to make it look profitable. Hiring back workers for half the salary keeps the ball rolling just fast enough to make it look promising. And of course all profits continue to buoy the CEOs.
I think you are mostly correct, but as far as coding goes, you can replace a small percentage. For example, you would need less junior devs to do the basic tasks. Which is actually a bad thing long term unless AI completely takes over. It's bad because jr devs need to come in and do the trivial tasks to learn.
Agreed in my company also most layoffs are from divisions that were dreamed up in 2010s and now are not viable enough like AR and Gaming.
They haven't even done a single layoff in money-making divisions, by little but they are even hiring.
Most of those big companies are overstaffed with mostly useless people, for an example the case of X ..
Any company using Ai or chat bot for their business.people should boycott those products....
1)insist on talking to people rather than bots...
2)cancel your order and mention the reason
3)boycott Ai generated ads or movie. Starting now or it will be too late.....people please add on suggestions ,we can balance between Ai and our work.

The black-box nature of AI makes it worse than closed source software in that nobody can truly comprehend how the model really works, leaving a huge potential for errors especially when it encounters novel inputs. We should still be treating it as a hobby grade technology interest like 3D printing or fpv drone racing but because the powers that ought not to be want to exploit this particular technology to subjugate us, it’s being heavily underwritten and hyped. Machine learning still struggles to drive cars, a fairly specific task compared to what humans accomplish in general… Leaving anything to AI at this point is definitely premature and will eventually expose points of failure. At best it’s ready to be shadowing humans and being evaluated and trained, that’s the smarter approach.
nah it'l be iterating endlessly and self testing it's code until it begins developing reliably, then that's when thinks will go a bit crazy
The black-box issue concerns deep learning algorithms for the most part. Standard statistical algorithms such as linear regression, K-means, Decision Trees, Logistic regression are interpretable.

I have first hand experience with a company that I was trying to contact a representative as when I called it connected me to their AI representative Emily after repeating my request over and over I waited until a real rep could help me which wasn’t much better at this call was directed to a call center in the Philippines and because the reps English was not good they redirected me to another rep which was in Africa and once again the reps English was poor so this time I stated I would only speck to someone based in the U.S. - The picture if perfectly clear these companies are looking for the lowest cost to handle business and when AI fails they transfer you to countries with lower labor costs so the layoffs are only about profit

Thank you! Everyone talks about AI as if it'll replace 100% of every task, while others point out that it can't. But like you said, it doesn't need to do everything, just enough that downsizing is possible. E.g. a team of 3 instead of 10... and of course, AI will continue to work toward 100% of everything, but it doesn't have to get there before it starts causing havoc.
The havoc will start when we get cheaply manufactured humanoid robots that can repair and build each other. Before that it will be contained in a virtual world, not interesting for the average person. But it won't stay there long.
Brilliant Work, balanced outlook...highly recommend keeping track of Cold Fusion.
Misleading info regarding Microsoft firing blizzard employees. It has nothing to do with ai, it always happens when company acquires another company. When one company buys another one, they usually restructure and layoffs happen. Also, when Microsoft announced they will buy Blizzard, it had 9.2k employees, while during acquisition it had 13k.
This has happened with several companies when IT services Cognizant replaced established professionals with cheap 8$ labor. After destroying many businesses companies asked for their old workers back.

They used to be a term that my parents used when things like this happened and it was referred to as FALSE ADVERTISING! HOW IS THIS NOT A SUBJECT THAT CAN BE USED TO SUE COMPANIES AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
I feel like a huge part of AI development that is missed in this video is how the models are largely trained on stolen work. I don't mean in the way that workers are paid to do work for companies, I mean usage of copywrited content without the consent of the copywrite holder. You can get chat GPT to spit out lyrics of various songs using key words, and phrases from various websites. The only reason it is viable for these companies is due to all the work of others they are taking, and hoping they can displace them fast enough before regulations and fines catch up to what has happened.
If they actually paid for the work they are taking, it wouldn't be even remotely profitable to run these systems (not that they currently are profitable in most cases).
In my mind, that's what makes this a bubble. It isn't just the hype, it is that they are flagrantly breaking existing law to the point that they should be fined into non-existance in most cases.
Yes, precisely this. It's profitable because law tends to lag behind tech. It's plain stealing.

Funny that Amazon actually DOES (or did?) have a service called Mechanical Turk.
Which is human powered (and yes, very low paid).
In a big (like one of the top five biggest) IT company we used to say:
- "AI" is for the general public
- "machine learning" is for investors
- "statistics" is actually to hire people who know how to code it
(same company ended up firing 10% of its worforce because investors were scared of its potential lateness in "AI"...)
A big difference with the "first wave" of automation in the 19th century is that this time it WILL affect white collars too : doctors, lawyers, architects etc. Also creative jobs : why AI is not replacing dangerous, uninspiring jobgs but the most creative ones (composer, cg artit etc.) is beyond me.
I was stuck on a codewars problem. I had solved it and passed all tests except it would timeout... ie. my solution wasn't fast enough on large datasets. I gave my code to Copilot, explained the problem, and it proceeded to give me wrong answers 6 prompts in a row and none even passed the basic tests. Then on my 7th attempt it gave me back the exact example that I had given in the first prompt. Ultimately, it didn't solve the problem. I have seen it do some amazing things but not this time.
There probably just wasn't a good example to steal from github or some other source.
Ayyy!! Thanks for the Joe Blogs shoutout, love that channel
Thanks for this video and the theme/ question asked.
The next question i would like you to investigate if something like Butlerian Jihad s mentioned in Dune happen?
To start, I'll say that your channel's videos are extremely well produced and the content is great. It's very well researched and presented.
And as a comment on this video, AI is definitely being over hyped. That is causing the public to feel a lot of unnecessary fear and confusion. So many companies are popping up with products that are far from being ready and are full of bugs. Some are having paying customers act as beta testers. Customer service is extremely poor and when you ask a question, they don't have an answer, claiming they don't actually understand how their products do what they do because "AI is a mystery" according to one response. Another I heard was, "You have to understand that this is a small company with few employees.". And when I see news about it, they have a partnership with Microsoft, $1.4 million in investments and have a company valuation of $6 million. These companies open Discord servers and have their paying customers "play" with the service while monitoring the comments to see what might be working. To me, that's shameful and possibly a symptom of the new "AI business model", which in my opinion is terrible. That's one reason I think that this is a bubble likely to burst. People are going to catch on and feel cheated.
What concerns me most is who will control AI, where the profit will land, and how the power in the workplace will shift. My fear is that the concentration of all the power and all the money will accelerate exponentially, so a handful of people who do not answer to anybody and who are more powerful than states, will control everything. We are already halfway there.
Bingo, when they talk about how much AI will increase productivity one has to ask, okay but for who? Do a cabal of billionaires really want to make your daily life easier & more productive? Or do they want something good enough to slash thousands of jobs and add to their treasure trove through the savings? I think the answer is fairly obvious.
We’ve been there for a while
Do not fear my child. We're already there
