tailored to their corporation’s needs
No these models are out there now. The more specialized, the less likely you need huge computing or graphical power. The corporations have realized bigger isn’t better.
Do I not? People are framing this as a bad thing, and it is, but not the way people think. The smart corporations won’t hoard away the tech to only do what they want with it. The smart companies will use the users as the product and harvest incredible amounts of information. Not only do you get user information, marketing data, human data, you get people to create models for free. Sure they get some use out of it for whatever project, but they might have just cooked up a million dollar idea that they can leverage and steal as well. I think “AI” is going to be a lot less scary when it’s integrated everywhere and user dependence is the biggest problem.
