Comment on Is AI the New Crypto?

No, not really. Yes, for some as it's been mentioned.

Not really because there are true tools with very real productive capabilities which are just being lightly showed in the "trendy" generative apps you've heard of.

One incredible thing is whisper, a model that you can download and use in a laptop with a GPU probably, and it can be ran from a simple command line.

The model could be used to "hear" ambiental voices and transcribe them to text in realtime, or to convert to text the voices in thousands of videos (and you could use the output directly, as subtitles, or you could throw it into a database to allow string search into thousands of videos, etc.). You probably could do it in a matter of hours. This was probably impossible just a year ago.
