Either a lot more tools got a lot better,

That's what it was. Even the free, open source models are vastly superior to the best of the best from just a year ago.

People got into their heads that AI is shit when it was shit and decided at that moment that it was going to be stuck in that state forever. They forget that AI is just software and software usually gets better over time. Especially open source software which is what all the big AI vendors are building their tools on top of.

We're still in the infancy of generative AI.

If you read AI critics, you will see people presenting solid financial evidence of the failure of AI companies to do what they promised. Remember Sam Altman promised AGI in 2025? I certainly do, and now so do you.

Do you have any concrete evidence that this financial flop will turn around before it runs out of money?

Assume all the big AI firms die: Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Poof! They're gone!

Here would be my reaction: "So anyway... have you tried GLM-7? It's amazing! Also, there's a new workflow in ComfyUI I've been using that works great to generate..."

Generative AI is here to stay. You don't need a trillion dollars worth of data centers for progress to continue. That's just billionaires living in an AGI fantasy land.

I'm sick and tired of AI fans making statements like

Generative AI is here to stay

without evidence.

Citation needed.

Oh wow, comparing a thing to a completely different thing without demonstrating the comparison is valid.

Exactly the non-evidence I expected.

Sorry, it’s what you deserve. You just really, really want to hate AI, and when people try to tell you that it has good points, you don’t want to hear it. Time will tell, I suppose.

I "deserve" non-evidence because I don't buy your agenda? Wtf

You deserve comparison to someone who dismissed a huge technological advancement as a fad.
