Tl; dr: a bunch of know-nothing plumbers swerve their digital cars from last years buzzword (blockchain) towards AI, narrowly missing a collision with a crowd of VCs. Upon arriving at the AI convention they switch hats to AI where they list themselves as experts (they can use the Chat-GPT API.) How any of this works or what problems may arise are a job for the cleanup crew (paid less, they aren't calling themselves experts.)
This is unnecessarily combative though it’s also probable I’m reading too much into this since I’m one of those swervers - from cloud computing guru to AI aficionado.
Personally, my mental bent is towards tinkering - I like wiring things up to make them work. I used to do that with wires and screwdrivers as a kid, now I read api docs and do the same thing.
The point being, it’s likely that I’ll continue connecting things to each other just to see how they work and offer that as a service until the day I die.
You need people who invent the algos, people to wire up algos to each other, people to sell this service to people, people to want to pay for that service, and so on. None is better than the other. They’re all necessary for people to put food on the table and live the life they want. Sneering at them is pointless.
