Doesn’t matter if it’s useful if it’s too expensive to use for the majority of use cases it has. Voice assistants like the echo are useful and people like them. However they aren’t particularly profitable because people hate when they get monetised and won’t use them that way.
AI is likely the same, most of the stuff it’s being used for… even vibe coding where it’s been hyped to the moon and back, probably aren’t viable when the total cost of the compute needed for training and running are actually been charged for.
I’m running localAi, without a meter. Yeah its expensive to get started (~4800€ for dgx spark) but next to monthly bill from Ai inference that is 30k€ it pays for itself in less than a month even if you cannot fully offload your work to it.
Again, most people don’t find it that useful that they will drop that kind of money on it even up front. Telling me that you are an outlier than has gone all in on AI and can’t live without it doesn’t really change the point I was making does it? Most people will just skip using AI if they have to pay for it and don’t use it to “offload” most of their work to which frankly just makes you sound lazy.
