I never believed the AI hype for a second

Between "Generative AI" models, and the multiple-orders-of-magnitude improvement Machine Learning (ML) chips are making every few years, the creative industries are going to take a hit.

Just off the top of my head:

• creative jobs at risk: Graphic design, writing of many types, non-architecture-level code writing, voice actors, moving soon to apparel design, home and building architecture, etc.
• other jobs at risk: translators, grocery cashiers, any kind of security job where you just watch a monitor, doctors who review medical imagery looking for issues;
• jobs at risk when robots - like from Boston Dynamics - get to market: grocery store stockers, truck unloaders, crop pickers, assembly-line workers.

I'm at a chip design conference (Hot Chips) this very second. The computational power of Machine Learning chips are increasing at a staggering rate.

The speedup of CPUs from generation to generation? Not much - 10-15%. The speedup of Machine Learning? 5-8X per generation.
