No. No one really gives a shit about AI other than the tech industry and vocal CEO culture which is just using it to bury recession and regular lay offs. Otherwise it's novelty value and frustration but no one is going to use it or pay enough for it to be viable as an economic backbone.

There are many more important things to consider. Like literally everything else society sits on top of.

AI is great at translating, doing a task in seconds which would take days. For almost no cost.

That is quite significant on a continent like Europe, with dozens of different languages.

I have a friend who's a professional translator. No it isn't. She's forever cleaning up after the mess it left people in. In fact business for her is really booming thanks to people who think that is the case.

And I'm not talking about LLMs here but DeepL etc.

AI translates correctly, with a few minor imperfections which don't impede communication. Compare that to waiting a day and paying hundreds of euros for each message.

AI translation is comparable to the telephone or e-mail in how it improves communication.

The end-user costs are slim to none, but for OpenAI alone they're hundreds of billions USD.

LLMs certainly have their use and are here to stay but it remains to be seen how they can be commercially successful without constant injections of venture capital.

These days even the French (!) speak English.
