Pharma is very big. Those AIs “speak” only in terms of chemical structure. Genomic medicine is coming soon.
Financial companies create models that take the guesswork out of complex economic decisions.
Auto captioning and note-taking and grammar correction, etc - all AI.
Factory and mining operations are getting in big, too. Dangerous jobs will get much safer.
Material science is making great advances. Production will follow in a year or two. Other sciences, too.
Businesses are using AI to press their advantage in various fields - and seeing benefits fairly quickly. No one it throwing money away. It’s a lot like the industrial revolution. A fast build out due to a change of every business model. And, like before, social disruption.

Practically, the only use of them right now is to inflate stock prices. No business benefits from this much compute other than hardware suppliers and construction companies.

As someone in the field, I can assure you that a great many businesses are realizing significant benefits. Our PR sucks though.

If that’s true, can you be more specific?

The NDAs are Very strict. Fired and unemployable is the least of it.
This is a primary reason for all of the “trust me bro” vibes. Anyone with real info is gagged.

Are they? The fact that we aren’t seeing more completed projects on github tells me its not useful for coding beyond peer-review and generating boilerplate. I’ve met 2 non-tech people who managed to get a MVP they have no way to maintain. Who is realizing significant benefits?

Github is not the real world. My information is based on our clients. A basic search produced the following…

Do you manufacture guillotines? That’s the only industry that is realizing actual, genuine benefits here.
Everyone else supposedly making money is in a circular ponzi scheme.
