Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal".

Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was.

And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment.

How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage.

Hence AIsbestos.

@Edent Does it actually bear any loads yet? I've never seen such a great example of a solution in search of a problem.

So far, anyway. I imagine capitalism will give us a few more before I die.

Today? No.
Tomorrow? Maybe!
@Edent @denny When I read stuff like https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisagarcia/2024/02/19/what-air-canada-lost-in-remarkable-lying-ai-chatbot-case/, I have to wonder how long any instance of "load bearing" AI will last.

The crux of the Air Canada case lay in a disagreement between the airline's chatbot and the airline’s Bereavement Fares Policy webpage.

It will last until the VC money runs out
