How are you dealing with the overwhelming amount of GenAI coming out?

[Title] Do y'alls think it's a bit too excessive. We're experimenting and coming with a lot of things at the same amount. Dalle-2, Midjourney, Stability, ChatGPT . . . more and more coming out. I don't know what to make of this, sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming. At the same time, people start saying these GenAI will replace this, that etc. etc. How much of it will actually hold true.

If it is overwhelming for you that are thinking about it, imagine what going to be the result of not even paying attention to AI yet? You are far ahead of the curve so if you keep learning about it and making use of those tools now that is still early stage you will probably get a good position for you in this brave new world. Isn't this exciting?

Yes, it is exciting and I'm trying my best to catch-up with it. Making and trying out different products, tools and helping everyone with it. Thanks for the kind words.

It resembles the big data technology wave of roughly 10 years ago, when we had a plethora of players in the space, all offering relatively immature technologies for storing, moving and processing data at scale.

The difficulty now, as back then, is landing on the technology complement that proves the most technically no-nonsese and financially viable in the long run.

How do you get to know what will work? I'm referring this. > The difficulty now, as back then, is landing on the technology complement that proves the most technically no-nonsense and financially viable in the long run.

I had my try with Vector Databases as well. But at the same time, I highly feel people have started to add vector databases everywhere. And now generative code makes you feel you don't know anything. Feeling lost in the middle.

I feel as follows: - You are standing on a basketball court, on your own ... - 3 guys enter the court with very big buckets ... filled with ping pong balls ... (each pin pong ball represents a new AI idea) - They empty them towards you - (and your task was to hit ONE ping pong ball ; that's the one you will work on)

Good luck ... ;)

Mate, what if I miss that one? It feels exactly like that. :( I was given one shot, and I'm trying to make it work. But it doesn't.
