Yes, I think we are in agreement too.

> my main point is that I don't think AI "just goes away" if the bubble bursts, which seems to be something that a lot of people assume.

i agree with your main point because the cat is out of the box with open source models and others in general. I don't particularly know the extent of what they would be used for.

The technology is still novel so people are trying out too many things with AI, I don't particularly like it being spearheaded into each and every thing but perhaps we are just in experimentation face and seeing what sticks and doesn't. Either way, I disagree with when people treat it more than a tool or is "the tool"

I do also think that the "cat is out of the box" and you are right that it isn't going to go away, particularly with open source models.

I think that there are some use cases where AI might make sense (prototyping or building things for yourself when all you want is the end result or thing which would be too time-consuming/complex to be built and thus wouldn't be worth making in first place for its use-cases)

So overall, yes I think that we are overall in an agreement. I do still believe though that learning the strong foundations.

But all in all I agree with you yes that AI might not be going anywhere, it can certainly have its benefits and hopefully the world uses it in beneficial way rather than negatively, glad we could come to an agreement. Have a nice day Simon.
