This is a typical form of coping with something that is pretty unprecedented. I have lots of empathy here for people who say things like it doesn't have real world applications but like you say I think they're wrong. It does seem that there will be this continuous dynamic where AI systems fail at certain things and such failures will continuously pointed out as signs that we should not worry until things get crazy. I imagine the new METR paper for example will do this.
It’s the claims by the industry that language models can soon be reliable general autonomous agents (AI in the sci-fi sense) that are overhyped to the point of mass psychosis.
In this sense the mania has come before significant real world adoption and in contrast to the Internet where the bubble mentality set in after almost ten years of accelerating adoption.
So it is an extraordinary situation around LLMs, caused by the massive Eliza effect in combination with the huge but delimited capabilities of chatbots.
For sure AI is a revolution and agree uptake is massive. Although some do over-hype its near term benefits and under-hype the need to manage any detrimental impact - even if regulation itself has its own drawbacks.
FYI the link above the revenue graph (I presume from the FT) seems to ironically point to this FT article: "AI sceptic Emily Bender: ‘The emperor has no clothes’"
Have you got the link to the actual graph on the FT, I'd like to review it?
“When people say AI isn’t finding real world application, I wonder what planet they’re on“
When people pick this thought other people share, out of the thousands of crap they hear people say, as the most important one that must be responded to, commented on, concerned with and cultivated on their minds only as it isn’t something that is happening right in front of them so it must be resolved, I wonder if they truly work on the AI field like they claim to do, as it sounds nothing like it.
Anyone in doubt look it up, the names and positions of the fellas who are the Creators of all of the new technologies that this and the prior generation have come up with that benefit mankind and all humanity.
This sort of babble probably doesn’t even cross their minds, I’ve never heard a single one of them say anything even slightly similar to a worry about the type of people who are so small in numbers and if put together from all over the globe wouldn’t fit a classroom, and say use Facebook to demonise Social Media, and that is because when they’re using the bathroom in the morning, that’s something better that they’ve got to do.

I’m on planet earth like you and I am sure whatever problem this is to you, is in your head only.
Go tell them to no longer ask Google anything and to wait until the next morning to go to a library and get the encyclopaedia to find out or hope to find out whatever they’re curious about next, because I gotta tell ya, I don’t know what’s worse on the ignorance level, then or anyone who finds wasting time imagining that is a fight to educate them about ChatGPT that must be won.
