AI has some pretty good uses.

But in the majority of junk on the market it is nothing but marketing bloatware.

I can't really agree as a video producer. Luma, Krea, Runway, Ideogram, Udio, 11Labs, Perplexity, Claude, Firefly -> All worth more than they're charging, most with daily free options. They save me a ton of time. Honestly, the one I'm considering dropping at the moment is ChatGPT.

It does and AI is being tarnished by the hype/marketing.

Not long ago Firefox announced it would deliver client-side "AI" to describe web pages to differently-abled users. This is awesome.

Some people on Lemmy conflated AI and Large Language Models and complained about the addition. I don't blame them, not everyone is an IT pro and is equipped to understand the difference between Machine Learning Models, LLMs and such. I mentioned Firefox has "AI" for client-side translation and that's a great thing. They wondered since when "AI" was used for translation. Machine learning/deep learning translation has been a thing for over a decade and it amazing. It's not LLM (even if LLMs are really good at translation).

The market has pushed "AI" too hard making people cautious about it. They are turning it into the new "blockchain" were most people didn't find any benefit from the hype, on the contrary, they saw the vast majority of it being scams.

As someone that actually played japanese RPG games translated with AI on dlsite, bullshit.
