A lot of fair criticisms of the splash page here. But, I'll say the slide deck has a nice comprehensive review of research headlines over the year, at least.

And their highlights conveniently ignored any and all negatives except for the one they could spin into a positive. It's almost like it's in their best interest to sell you a future so bright you gotta' wear million dollar shades.

I find the deck remarkably comprehensive and in-depth for what it is.

The negativity here is a bit shocking. I mean, we're talking about a deck!

Looka like they just asked their target audience these survey questions. Which is highly biased, to say the least.

Yes I guess asking 1200 "ai practitioners" would give you 95% ai-users... but what is with the 5 percent? 60 people are ai-liars? Anti-Survey anarchists?

they probably used AI to answer the survey and those were hallucinated answers...

On the contrary; it is prominent to leverage the synergy of ontological orthogonalities to maximize a diverse approach.

The state of AI as an end user is that despite language being its primary tool, AI is a pretty terrible writer

Even the best models write like mediocre fiction writers at best

I love how delusional normalized users get. 3 years ago the idea of an AI writing as a mediocre writer was world changing

It still is.

Been a user 3 years ago. I really haven't seen an improvement. Rather, the prose quality is now becoming even more clearly AI

3 to 4 years ago chat gpt2 wrote much more creative stories, its faults actually made interesting and absurd concoctions out of it's training material. Nowadays its just a machine for plagiarizing works and laundering copyright.

Quite a comprehensive report. But things look too rosy when the phenomenon is at the peak of hype cycle. So I was curious to see what the Predictions tab has to say. It has disappointed me with the "current-state" news again, not really any predictions.

Meta observation: this has to be the third most hated rally I have seen, only topped by Tesla and EVs in 2020 and crude oil in 2007

When one's job is potentially on the line one becomes a Luddite rather quickly.

lol this. No one wants to admit this when it comes to explaining why AI adoption is slow

What profession do you have that made you a Luddite based on the current state of LLMs and AI?

I'm an artist, programmer and musician, and is no closer to being a Luddite today than five years ago, not sure why others would either. Anti-capitalist or Anti-fascist I'd understand, considering the state of the world and the current direction.

The state of Ai: perplexity replaced google.
nextworddev · 2 months ago
Anecdotally perplexity scaled back their plans to sell ads, because no one was interested in..

Interesting, this is the first I'm hearing of that. It's too little too late for me though. I was paying for Perplexity Pro and Kagi Ultimate at the same time for a few months to decide which I liked more. Perplexity was often able to get me answers that I wanted faster than Kagi could, but in the cases where it would run in circles around a false result, it seemed like it would more than make up for the time saved on other queries.

The CEO talking about wanting to roll out advertisements was one of the final nails in the coffin for me. I have exactly zero interest or patience for being subjected to advertisements on a service that I'm paying for.
