Good luck I guess… but in 5 years you don’t get to say nobody told you. So, take this time now to learn or end up being the new-age version of one of those people who don’t know how to open a PDF
I’m telling you right now, AI is not going anywhere and AI agents are everywhere
I’m just trying to explain to you that while your experience with AI appears to just be people making shitty TikTok videos or whatever, in reality AI Agents are a new way to use your computer and it’s not going to go away
Maybe you’re too young to know this, but in the early 2000s we had all of our music on our computer. Literal music files. And it was a big deal to keep it organized. So if you had 200,000 songs you would want to make sure they were all in folders by artist or just straight up named {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} so you could find what you wanted to listen to quickly
But music files had no guaranteed naming convention so everyone just did what they thought was best and when you ripped a song off a CD or downloaded it off the internet the naming convention could be anything. So we spent hours renaming songs and filling out details, adding album artwork, etc… so that everything looked the way we wanted in our preferred music playing app like ITunes.
You know, when the song played, the right image showed up, it had the right star rating, the genre was correctly flagged, etc…
If AI Agents had existed back then, renaming all 200,000 songs to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} would be literally as easy as going into your Agent and typing
“Please rename all of my music files in c:\users\myuser\music to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName}”
And that’s it… the Agent, because it knows every song by every artist, can figure out what every file in that folder is and what the name is suppose to be; and then it will actually rename the files for you, successfully
No business is looking at that kind of technology and saying, “this is dumb”.
I never said it was the next virtual boy, it’s the current virtual boy. Make sure that you remember all your claims, too, buddy. It’s going to be fun to look back at your stupidity in five years when the bubble has popped. You’re far from the first person to be overly proud of a failure.
It’s already not a failure though. This is what you can’t seem to grasp
Like the dot-com bubble, yeah, some AI companies are probably going under. I’m unsure if there’s a need or want big enough to support, say, AI Music. So will Suno survive? I don’t know.
But when the dot-com bubble burst the internet didn’t die. Web pages didn’t vanish. Online businesses didn’t stop becoming a part of our daily lives. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Most business are on the web now. Software is hosted on the cloud, streaming is how we watch tv, online shopping is the norm, etc…
The dot-com bubble burst but the internet still took over society
AI is not going away. That’s just all there is to it. You can hate it all you want, but in 20 years people are going to look back on posts like yours with the same way we look back on people who claimed the internet was a fad. It’s just silly.
People aren’t just going to take this massive breakthrough in computing and throw it away.
Your virtual boy isn’t the internet. It pales in what it is capable of next to the internet. The internet literally connected the entire world together. It did new things. The modern virtual boy is not even in the same sport as the internet. You really just sound like a lazy conformist, which seems right for a tech industrialist pushing a product.
Why do you need me to like “AI” so much? What would that do for you? Just walk away, dumbass, you’re not converting me to your church of the virtual boy.
Hey, remember that time I called you a shill?

Fuck, you’re hardcore about this, do you suck your boss’s dick, Company Man?

So, yes?
Just really driving home how fucking stupid it was to claim AI was the next Virtual Boy
I want you to remember this so you can spend the next years of your life knowing just how foolish it was to say that
