the software industry as a whole is all-in on AI (LLMs in particular).
makers are trying to stuff it into every nook and cranny they can find. from Adobe using it so Photoshop can produce image content for you on demand (instead of you needing to use stock photos), to phones using it to automatically manipulate your photos in real-time, to audio apps using it to handle routine things like sound mastering all the way to vocal generation, to programming environments using it to analyze and correct your code for you, to apps like the one i work on using it to take over 'help' and data search/analysis features ("how many tables in this library use address data?"). if there's a place a company thinks people will want to type their desires in natural language, they're trying to use AI to make it happen.
YouTube recently rolled out a feature where, if you are already a content producer, it will look at your channel and try to figure out what kind of content you make. then it will suggest a list of related topics for you to produce new videos on. if you pick one, it will give you a list of 'hooks' to use to make the video sizzle. it will give you detailed outlines for a script. and it has AI-generated thumbnails ready to choose from. and at every stage, you can use AI prompting to fine-tune the suggestions. it's literally doing everything but speaking. and i don't see any reason why they haven't automated that part, too.
so, the big players are definitely over-inflated. but the whole industry is using their products now.
but at the rate those data centers will swallow up water and warm the planet
doubling compute capacity every 6 months is a hell of a rate.

we need a mega-sized-CHIPS Act, not a Trump-branded one.
