“That’s why I’m much more confident that this is a technology that will, in fact, build on the rails of cloud and mobile, diffuse faster, and bend the productivity curve and bring local surplus and economic growth all around the world — not just economic growth driven by capital expenses.”

Gururu Right now, AI isn't passing the evil vs. good test. It's doing nothing but widening the gap between rich and poor. Reply
munkee_zero As a consumer and occasional PC builder, I'm want the AI bubble to burst because: 1/ The likes of Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, X etc, will lose a shit ton of money. 2/ DDR5 RAM prices would hopefully fall to more affordable prices. Reply
cknobman "Why are you peasants not excited and happy to have your entire life monitored, watched, and sent to big brother!?" "Let us tell you how to live, what to think, and make all decisions for you, its just so easy!" No thanks, Satan. Reply
excalibur1814 I see a circular problem: -VR -A.I. They both get released/updated (again). Many get excited, then they get bored and it vanishes. Repeat over and over again. Just another reason to attempt to sell computers, make cash and more. Reply
ezst036 Admin said: “The zeitgeist is a little bit about the admiration for AI in its abstract form or as technology. But I think we, as a global community , have to get to a point where we are using it to do something that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries,” Nadella said. His "We" does not include anybody who might be found on the Tom's Hardware forum. This is actually a really telling interview including this part. All of the elites in their ivory towers, this is what they think. That's what he is communicating. We the elites of the world are so admiring of AI. That is actually what he said. Reply
Neilbob I've been cynically sceptical of this whole nonsense from the very beginning, and I remain so for the simple reason that I simply cannot see how so-called A.I. is of any benefit to the overall consumer market. If you take away the not-always-completely-accurate search thing, what is its purpose? There was a thing on the local news here a while ago where a council representative was making grand claims of how they were employing 'A.I.' in every part of their services, but when the interviewer asked for examples, the guy just blathered on for several minutes about how A.I. is the next big thing and will help to cut costs without actually explaining exactly how. Stuff like this just proves to me that it remains nothing but yet another fashionable buzzword used to lull grubby peasants (the general populace) into believing anything. How will A.I. help the council to fix potholes, collect the bins, and replace Ethel's hot water boiler? Reply
RoLleRKoaSTeR The CEO of M$ can go FARK himself right off. (not subby of that thread), but I agree – since when has "AI" asked permission? Reply
rluker5 We've had Gemini, Copilot, Cortana, Clippy and other AI service/helper hubs for years now on PCs, smartphones, smartwatches and I guess cars with Android Auto and Apple's version of that. The consumer market has been saturated for a long time. These have all been flops. What is new? More costly and convoluted ways of providing unwanted services? I don't think most people will ever care. Much less want to pay what it costs to provide + some profit margin for the provider. So what does that leave as a market? Corporations inflating their stock price with buzzword hype? Boomers in congress getting scammed like boomers do? Better monitoring and control of the masses by the elites in Gov and their connected private sector cohorts? I guess it probably works well enough for some military devices and auto drive is sometimes reliable, but usually failure prone. Maybe if they managed to use it to reduce property tax bills and rents by making most school costs go away people would support it, but my guess is school costs would go up and AI would wind up doing a worse job than teachers because it would be the same gov administering it that has messed up the current education system. I'm afraid Nadella really has nothing but talk here. Reply
Thad Boyd It sounds like Nadella is a smart man who has a good grasp on why the genAI backlash is happening. So…why doesn't he do something about it? He seems to have worked out that part of why people aren't sold on ML is that they're seeing it used for a bunch of pointless, destructive nonsense instead of in domains where it has practical uses like medicine. So, okay. Mr. Nadella, you're the CEO of Microsoft. You, personally, have the power to *significantly reduce* the use of AI for pointless, destructive nonsense. So if you want to address the problem, maybe stop sunk cost fallacying Copilot on everybody? Reply
