Well, of course “demand” is shrinking. AI was the hot new thing, everybody played with it, and its flaws and limitations were quickly discovered. People learned that its uses are much more limited than the hype suggests.
Plus, if you were expecting science-fiction level AI (as in, a computer that could actually think and reason like a person) you were in for some major disappointment.
Every time I read this sort of sentiment on Lemmy I'm just totally confused. Have you actually worked with ChatGPT yet? Have you asked it to do things for you and given it very clear instructions like you would a new employee? I've been completely amazed by it. It has improved my productivity at work by probably 600%. It also helps me edit my emails for tone, and clarity, and can format shit that would take me hours in like half a second.
Everytime I read this sort of sentiment in a comment I'm just totally confused. Do you think Microsoft only looked at your usage for their reports?
Joining aside, No one is denying it works for you, but the article is suggesting that's not the same for all.
