Nvidia executive: The cost of AI tools is 'far beyond' the cost of human workers Fortune

2. Lol. Most economists have been pointing that out for almost a decade.

Especially since it was well understood that most people don't like dealing with a computer when it comes to anything more complex than an ATM or cash register; they almost inevitably ask to talk to a real person if there's any issue they are concerned about.
And people hate, hate Hate telemarketing and phone menus.
Even though certain personal electronic assistants like the Echo are considered "okay" - it's only because you control it and tell it what to do, it doesn't act in lieu of a gatekeeper or soliciter for some outside organization.
So, why would anyone think that AI could be accepted by most of the public in anything other than a personal toy or tool like Alexa or Photoshop? Oh, CEOs and Beancounter types love the hype, the pretense that AI could replace a workforce, especially a creative or research based workforce, but it just isn't "there".
It's still a LLM, with programmed responses based on ones and zeros, and a search filter/auto-complete system.

It ain't the Star Trek Computer, or Azimov's Robots in Foundation. It might eventually become something like that, but that's not going to happen until we can figure out how brains and consciousness works. Not just how brains react when they're healthy or injured. We need to figure out how to create a bio-computing based system.
And we aren't even that close to figuring worm brains out.
