You can tell I am not AI, I make mistakes and errors. Sometimes I get voted down for them. I am not perfect and have a mental illness that makes it harder to think.
The average person is not ready for AI yet. Microsoft's Copilot has a low adoption rate. Data Centers have big energy bills and a lack of clients, and have no ROI for most of them.
I think you’re pointing at something real. Adoption lag matters.
If the end user doesn't change behavior, ROI won’t show up no matter how much infrastructure gets built.
I’d add another layer though: expectations. Many CEOs implicitly treat AI like deterministic software. install it, flip the switch, get linear productivity gains.
But these systems are probabilistic. They’re "slippery" Output quality varies, edge cases multiply, and oversight is required. That makes ROI non-linear.
The current generation of children uses AI on their smartphones. The average adult doesn't use or doesn't know how to use AI. In time, the children will grow up to get AI jobs, and the average adult will be a senior citizen.
If AI were actually capable of delivering on the promises driving the bubble, the next generation of children won't grow up to get jobs at all unless they're serving or cleaning up after trillionaires, or selling their bodies. Thankfully, there's basically zero chance of AI delivering on those promises. It'll continue to be useful sometimes, in some ways, to some people, but I'm less than optimistic that most people will be feel like what they've gained was worth what they lost and that includes most CEOs.
The main target is businesses for AI. Not the average person, but Microsoft wants to have the average person use Copilot. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1p92qzs/you_hea... But people are rejecting Copilot, and Microsoft has most of their datacenters not in use except for clients like OpenAI. OpenAI might take its business to Google or Amazon because Microsoft Copilot competes directly with them.
That's as useful as saying "The current generation of children uses electricity." Using "AI" for image generation, game play, statics on economy or generating source code are completely different things. Also the dumbest orthography tool is "AI", because it involves a field that is associated with human intelligence.
Python is growing in interest in learning for a lot of new developers. It is replacing Ruby and other languages. Python is easy to learn when you have the right video course or ebook.
