The best usage of AI that I have seen is where people need something to show but quality doesn't matter much. AI is great to generate a lot of "something" (data, text), and if you pay attention you'll start to see where it fails. But for jobs/tasks where nobody pays attention (or nobody cares), AI is great.

Need to write a report to present at your company but nobody will care about it? Use AI.

Blog posts just for SEO? Use AI.

Illustration image as a header for a post where you need an image just to share the post on social? Use AI.

I am not saying people is in the right to do this, but this is where I saw AI being really useful at.




Do all of those put together generate enough revenue to match the operating costs of generative models, ignoring all capital costs?


Ah no, I am not saynig they are useful from a bussiness point of view (I have no idea about that). I am saying more as a user who uses GPT for free, for example.
