Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If AI can't find its market (which for all the hype it hasn't thus far), then yes. Alternatively AI finds its market and it just becomes a norm that's expected so no one will mention it at all

if AI can’t find its market (which for all the hype it hasn’t thus far)

AIs market is every market, which is why it seems like AI isn't "doing much." The primary benefit of AI in its current form is finding and driving efficiencies.

It's much more like the internet in the early 90s than it is the block chain. AI hasn't had its "dot com bubble" begin yet, because right now it's all targeted services.

AIs market is every market

no, it's every market when it's actually a part of those markets, delivering value and funding itself. It is not doing that today. It may do that tomorrow, but not today.

Today AI is in the investor-funded, throw everything against the wall stage. the hope is that something will stick and become what drives that industry in the future. It hasn't found that yet. AI could vanish tomorrow and no one would notice.

It is not doing that today.

It is absolutely doing that today. From medicine to fucking call center QA.

That you don't know about it is further evidence of my claim - AI is currently being leveraged within existing toolsets that you also do not know about.

One Verint system can do the jobs of multiple QA professionals while also handling WFM tasks that previously required 1-3 more jobs, all of which are innately high-paying due to being so specialized.

I use Synthesia every day to make training content (well, my intern does, but still). This content would take a minimum of 4 people to produce without the existing software. I know because we considered building that team and went with Synthesia instead. These aren't plugs either - there are competitors to both of the above that are continuing to push features forward.

AI is absolutely paying for itself.
