    The AI “revolution” is, at best, leveling out, but probably already over the cliff.

    If you think the e-waste is bad now, just wait until they decide to dump the contents of all of those new and now unnecessary and expensive data centers into landfills.

      I doubt it is will drop as drastically as you think. Many people still use chatGPT, some for fun some for work. There are also many companies using AI chatbots as tech support and complaints departments. I saw an ad for a genetic heritage company using AI to predict what ancestors would look like. We are far from done with useless AI applications.

        Who is paying to use it? Because I’m guessing their paying customer base is not exactly ballooning.

        Just give time to the enshittification to move ChatGPT to subscription only and the useless applications will magically stop.
