Nilay Patel：AI 产品还不够好，撑不起如此高昂的代价
Quoting Nilay Patel
The Verge 的 Nilay Patel 在 The Vergecast 上表示，AI 产品质量不足以让用户接受其代价——数据中心噪音、AI overviews 和大量深度伪造垃圾内容都不值得，各公司的支出超过收入，智能体也尚未真正落地可用。他认为 AI 行业只有做出让用户无需广告宣传就能切身体会到生活改善的产品，才能摆脱当前困境。

The products aren't good enough to sell people on the costs.
You cannot tell people that you have to listen to the whine of a data center in their backyard for AI overviews and some of the most hilarious deep fake slop in history.
It's not worth it. It just isn't worth it to anyone. And agents aren't real and they might not be being used the way that anyone wants them to yet. All these companies are spending more than they're making on these products. Refrigerators holding blood storage in Europe are being hacked.
The costs are too high. The benefits are not real. And if you connect that to corruption, you're like, in order to impose these costs on me, these CEOs are in the White House shaking Trump's hand, renaming it to the Gulf of America, paying for this ballroom that we don't want. It's obvious crypto-corruption, and it's still slop.
The AI industry will not get out of it until they make better products. Until everyone can see without needing to be convinced, without needing an ad campaign, without any of this stuff that just using these products makes your life better.
