Ask HN: AI Commercial Appications

3 pointsversion_five2 comments

Now that the dust has settled a bit, can people point to current concrete business end use cases of "AI" - specifically large language models? I'm aware of the kind of things they can do, I'm just curious now to see if that's translated into actual use cases. To be clear, I'm talking about end uses, not "selling picks and shovels in a gold rush".

Biggest application I'm seeing personally so far is assistance in knowledge work. It's not a separate commercial application, it's not a new business if that was the kind of answer you were expecting. It's just some tasks being easier and faster to solve and being some unknown % more productive.

I agree that chatGPT is a great product in itself. But does they mean turn end state of this round of AI is going to be that we have conversational assistants? It's certainly been represented as more than this, which is why I'm curious what actual further applications have come about.
