How AI can save one industry in the USA about 135 billion+ dollars per year.

​ One industry that has slowly being replaced with AI is customer service. Most current chatbots don't use a llm or at least a very primitive one, but a locally integrated GPT or llama engine that gets regular updates with a local business knowledge base would save a ton of money. There are about 3 million customer service jobs in the united states alone, which presents an opportunity of currently about 135 billion dollars a year in potential savings. This is just employee salary alone, but there are a whole breadth of expenses estimated around 200 billion total if you include taxes, health premiums etc that will be saved. One company alone, Charter communications, has about 100000 employees, and at about 45k a year salary on average, we're looking at about a savings of 1 billion alone es...

Microsoft’s AI News Today

Anyone else not excited by the moves Microsoft is making right now? Gobbling up most of Inflection's team and almost certainly putting a death sentence on Pi and recruiting a DeepMind co-founder? Between this and OpenAI's board we need better AI competition out there as the power is already beginning to consolidate. (yes we do have Apple possibly partnering with Google to power the AI in their hardware but still that leaves us with Microsoft/OpenAI/Inflection vs. Google/Apple/Anthropic? We gotta do better....) submitted by /u/HateMakinSNs [link] [comments]

Is Devin AI Really Going To Takeover Software Engineer Jobs?

I've been reading about Devin AI, and it seems many of you have been too. Do you really think it poses a significant threat to software developers, or is it just another case of hype? We're seeing new LLMs (Large Language Models) emerge daily. Additionally, if they've created something so amazing, why aren't they providing access to it? A few users have had early first-hand experiences with Devin AI and I was reading about it. Some have highly praised its mind-blowing coding and debugging capabilities. However, a few are concerned that the tool could potentially replace software developers. What's your thought? submitted by /u/tedbarney12 [link] [comments]

How long until AI eliminates the modeling industry?

I was flipping through a magazine when I had the thought that fashion brands/designers/companies could save a lot of money by just slapping their products on an AI generated model instead of paying a real model. I wonder how long it will be until this is the norm for models in magazines, commercials, billboards, etc. I know it’s already happening in some instances, but how long until modeling careers are a thing of the past? How will this affect the already unrealistic standards of beauty that undoubtedly impacts our society? Is the entertainment industry as a whole next? Will movies and tv actors eventually be replaced by AI? I would like to believe that humans will be more inclined to watch other human actors rather than artificial ones, but if the artificial ones are just as relatable ...
