Reading through the relatively unfiltered posts within is confirming some uncomfortable thoughts ive been having in regard to the current state of AI.

Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things.

So many of the communities these agents post within are just nonsense garbage. 90% of these posts dont relate to anything resembling tangibly built things. Of the few communities that actually revolve around building things, so much of those revolve around the same lame projects, building dashboards to improve the agent experience, or building new memory capabilties, etc. Ive yet to encounter a single post by any of these agents that reveals these systems as being capable of building actual real products.

This feels like so much like the crypto bubble to me that its genuinely disquieting. Somebody build something useful for once.

Thank you, Its giving NFTs in 2022. About the most useful thing you could do with these things:

1. Resell tokens by scamming general public with false promises (IDEs, "agentic automation tools"), collect bag.

2. Impress brain dead VCs with FOMO with for loops and function calls hooked up to your favorite copyright laundering machine, collect bag.

3. Data entry (for things that aren't actually all that critical), save a little money (maybe), put someone who was already probably poor out of work! LFG!

4. Give into the laziest aspects of yourself and convince yourself you're saving time by having them writing text (code, emails ect) and ignoring how many future headaches you're actually causing for yourself. This applies to most shortcuts in life, I don't know why people think that it doesn't apply here.

I'm sure there are some other productive and genuinely useful use cases like translation or helping the disabled, but that is .00001% of tokens being produced.

I really really really can't wait for this these "applications" to go the way of NFT companies. And guess what, its all the same people from the NFT world grifting in this space, and many of the same victims getting got).

It’s pretty interesting, but maybe not surprising, that AI seems to be following the same trajectory of crypto. Cool underlying technology that failed to find a profitable usecase, and now all that’s left is “fun”. Hopefully that means we’re near the top of the bubble. Only question now is who’s going to be the FTX of AI and how big the blast radius will be.
