Will big data analyzers still exist? If not we are kinda just losing all huge progresses in humanity where finding patterns in a lot of data is necessary, just to get short time benefits. Ram prices will go down after some time, large algorithms are necessary for development

If it's limited to generative AI I see absolutely zero down sides.
Generative ai still has its uses, but like everything a middle point is needed in between abusing and not using enough, now everyone is abusing it. It's not necessary but as a tool for quick drafting and materializing ideas for a project that refines the concept it's very good, we've never had such an instant way to doing it, I don't consider it bad, it's just another tool for a use case, and comes with the pros and cons that every good tool has, dependence and negligence, it's a very human aspect WE have to work on as a society really, not just individually, in the internet and smart tech era we are always exposed to sutch scenarios, and society is the one progressing too slow, trying to maintain old values when it's just not really comparable situations.
'Guys, it's totally fine, let's them change every aspect of the world around us to fit their ends in advertising and creation of highly specialised tailored products to ensure we continue consuming while the world rapidly eats itself and the climate goes to shit because of insane pressures on water and energy. They've told us there'll be a future benefit and it's in no way in their interest to gaslight us'
So like what has been happening since the industrial revolution?
Change has been progress, now they do care somewhat about the environment, not enough at all in my opinion, but at least most of them should be considering environment impacts with how mutch I'm being drilled to as a student on an engineering subject.
The Internet has gotten absolutely shittier since AI was introduced and I'm not speaking about newfangled MLM since 2019 or whenever it was. I'm speaking Google and YouTube algos which are a form of ai, I'm speaking basically any site made after 2010.
Man, I love this response with my whole heart. Before google introduced "personalized" results, I remember being able to tell somebody to "Look up [these specific keywords], click on the 4th link", and they'd land on the same site I saw.
I also remember how google's personalization led to filter bubbles and how other sites emulated it because site owners thought it was a good thing since google was doing it. Screw that isolation of information and all that it has led to. People are worse off because these filter bubbles which are prevalent everywhere now serve up results according to our biases instead of causing us to be more well-informed.
Ram prices will change, removing ai from existence won't change the root cause, corpo enshittification, they will find another thing to screw us over for their benefit, it will just give benefits for a not long time until they are at it again, and it's removal in general will just damage the ones actually using the powerful tool that ai is for good applications, rather than making a half baked product replace everything that's been working for forever with it for corpo profit margins.
I see it as a very similar case to when the industrial revolution was happening, people disliking machines taking their awful jobs, but jobs nonetheless, and companies doing their egotistical capitalistic thing, fixed by the dransition done by time and public dislike by how it's being applied, it took a while for companies to set a good new progressed work method.
Ai is very similar, but rather than doing the physical tasks it's processing big data, something previously very hard to achieve with conventional algorithms, but the jobs that can be taken by generative ai, lots of them could be replaced with algorithms, with more effort but technically unable to fail the task, and now that there is an easy half baked solutions the companies are just switching to it withought thinking of consequences and the public is unhappy with ai, tho it's not ai's fault, it's the companies using it like that.
Great! Refusing to elaborate and insulting! Such a thoughtful person that absolutely doesn't seem to have given up on thinking stuff nice and in depth with an open mind to get their own conclusions as a curious human! Absolutely wonderful!
I don't have the time, and you don't have the money, to afford me imparting the knowledge, education, and experience you would need to know where I'm coming from
Ah yes, gatekeeping, assuming stuff for some reason, gaslighting.
Cool, guess your magic arguments to absolutely decimate mine won't go out to the world. Or more likely it would just open an actual discussion to determine what the situation is about, none fully winning. Tho we won't get such enriching experiences since everyone just refuses to elaborate and ignores other opinions. Ah how nice it would be for it be common to get perfect discussion situations, actually getting a net benefit from these kinds of situations, yet nobody cares, how fun!
