AI industry questioned over costs and benefits
Original title: Quoting Nilay Patel
Experts say AI products lack sufficient value to justify data center noise and deepfake content.
The products aren't good enough to sell people on the costs. You cannot tell people that you have to listen to the whine of a data center in their backyard for AI overviews and some of the most hilarious deep fake slop in history. It's not worth it. It just isn't worth it to anyone. And agents aren't real and they might not be being used the way that anyone wants them to yet. All these companies are spending more than they're making on these products.
- Data center costs too high
- Benefits not real
- Agents may not be ready yet
