Warning : I think AI in the current hype form, so commercial GenAI and LLM, is absolutely bullshit. The result is just bad and resources required is absolutely ridiculous, and maybe worst than those two combined (which is already enough to want to reject en masse) it is structured in order to create dependencies on very few actors.

Yet… (you saw that coming!) it’s not because 99.99% is bad that suddenly the average consumer leverages the less than .01% left properly.

What they (OpenAI, Claude, M$, NVIDIA, Google, Meta, etc) are looking for is a product/market fit. They do have a product (arguable) and a market (millions if not billions of users of their different other products) with even a minuscule fraction of people trying to use their new AI-based tool… and yet nobody actually knows what the “killer app” truly is.

They are investing everything they don’t spend on actual R&D or infrastructure in finding out … what it’s actually for. They have no clue.

Me getting 480p videos for my video projector : “Oh… no really?” ¯\(ツ)/¯

PS: FWIW I do have a Vision Pro (for work, I didn’t pay for it personally) so I technically could enjoy high res content… but honestly I can’t bother using this to watch videos. I’m fine with just my desktop screen or video projector. I just don’t get the high res.
