Kettle It's been a fairly bumpy week for enterprise AI, as a string of stories have shown today's neural networks in a less-than-flattering light.
For example, it appears generative chatbots make workers [1]less productive , perhaps because folks haven't been [2]trained on how to make the most of the software and are left confused. Gartner, typically a tech cheerleader, has noticed [3]expensive AI PCs don't appear to be selling. Meanwhile Microsoft's [4]enthusiasm for artificial intelligence was on full display at Ignite – Redmond has to recoup that $10 billion investment in OpenAI somehow.
There's some spirited discussion on this week's 20-minute Kettle episode, which you can watch in full below. Chewing the fat we have our editor-in-chief Chris Williams, reporters Brandon Vigliarolo and Tom Claburn, and your host, this humble vulture. Thanks to Nicole Hemsoth Prickett for editing the episode.

Yes, audio only is fine. Text is even better. But because the RSS-MP3 doesn't work on my phone, I ended up watching the video, complete with hexagon-glasses baldy, lazy-eye cipher in a WeWork, Andrew Scott and the Covid bookcase, and Rowan Atkinson.
8-bit stage??
That's an insult to 8-bit computers, which were/are actually useful.
AI is more like in its 8-qbit stage. It is making progress towards 'something', but nobody knows what except for a massive waste of resources, and thus far it is useful for nothing more than parting fools from their money, which is a notoriously easy task.
