One thing AI can't generate at the moment – compelling reasons to use it for work
Our vultures think this tech is interesting but in its 8-bit stage
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 less productive, perhaps because folks haven't been trained on how to make the most of the software and are left confused. Gartner, typically a tech cheerleader, has noticed expensive AI PCs don't appear to be selling. Meanwhile, Microsoft's 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.
For those who prefer the show as audio only, the Kettle is available via RSS and MP3, Apple, Amazon, and Spotify. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. ®
