I saw people complaining the companies are yet to find the next big thing with AI, but I am already seeing countless offer good solutions for almost every field imaginable. What is this thing the tech industry is waiting for and what are all these current products if not what they had in mind?
I am not great with understanding the business point of view of this situation and I have been out from the news for a long time, so I would really appreciate if someone could ELI5.
Between OCR and LLM, summarising scanned things (something I do ~20% of the time) has about halved in terms of mental effort and time. As I’m paid on billable hours, this is big for me. I have told nobody and have not increased my overall output commensurately. This is the only good kind of automation I’ve observed: bottom-up, no decrease in compensation, no negotiations.
I tried FreedomGPT for better personal ownership, but for now, the hardware isn’t up to snuff for my needs. With stronger processing and somewhat better open source models I’ll be sitting pretty.
