The AI had ceased to surprise us. And then the “ghiblation” of images and the Internet arrived He went crazy. In recent days we have lived a fever for converting all kinds of images –And even videos– To imitate the style of Miyazaki teacher and the mythical creations of his Studio Ghibli. The phenomenon has served to make AI at least for a few days again. And that is precisely the problem.
Saturated from AI. The appearance of Chatgpt in November 2022 has unleashed an explosion of AI, but after the initial earthquake things have relaxed. Although there have been notable advances, we have “accustomed” to AI, and technology seems relegated to the background for most users. As my partner Javier Lacort said in his reflection of a few days ago, we have seen ourselves immersed in “an universe of impenetrable jargon that was moving the conversation about AI from the initial astonishment to arid technicism.”
AI lives from “magical” moments. We saw it with Deepseek A few months ago, and we see it again with the Studio Ghibli style images. Until those “magical” moments occur, the AI does not just set among the general public. There is certainly a moderate use among the population and there are also niches that use it intensively –The program of programmersfor example – but people lack something crucial: an App.
What do you use AI? The current options are undoubtedly striking in the creative field and also as assistance for professional tasks, but for now the chatbots have not infiltrated our lives as they did for example internet search engines. They solved a more pressing problem – finding what one was looking for on the Internet – but for the moment AI does not have just replaced them and is not used massively.
Looking for an AI that is a google for daily use. The search engine revolution is probably one of the inevitable conquests of the future for AI. We are seeing it with perplexity And the search engines that OpenAi so much Like Google itself They are offering users. These platforms will not totally move to the traditional search engine, but one thing is evident: every time we look more with Chatgpt ” – or any other chatbot – and the growth of that trend seems unstoppable.
At the moment Gartner’s cycle of expectations is very well reflected the AI phenomenon. It seems that we have reached the peak of oversized expectations, and we now fall into disappointment avism. Source: Wikimedia.
Beware of disappointment abyss. The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) published these days these days A study conducted by 24 researchers from AI. It included a section entitled “Perception of the AI VS reality”, and in it there was talk of the well -known cycle of expectations of Gartner. The consultant itself estimated that expectations and Hype For the generative AI had already exceeded its highest peak.
AI is not so much (for the moment). 79% of the experts surveyed in that study indicated that the current public perception of AI capacities do not correspond to the Reality of research and development in this field. In fact, 90% claimed that this is conditioning the investigation, and of that figure 74% revealed that the areas in which they are being investigated are areas where there are still many expectations.
So we are not going to get to the AGI. The most important companies in this area have a common goal: to achieve a AGIthe Holy Grail of Artificial Intelligence. However, these same experts do not have too much hope that we will develop it. 76% of the 475 respondents indicated how to climb (more data, more GPUS to train models) will not be enough to reach an AGI. We need a different approach, and those experts advocate prioritizing issues such as security, ethical governance and a gradual and more responsible innovation instead of this apparent frantic career that does not think about the consequences.
Waiting for the next Bombazo of the AI. The fever for “ghibliization” seems to have relaxed significantly and surely in a few days or weeks it is blurred as a striking option more than one AI that excites us to pull – before the Grok 3 censorship imagesfor example – but do not conquer permanently. At the moment it seems that this will continue to be the norm, and now we are waiting for that next pull and perhaps that Killer App that can mark a turning point in the adoption of AI.
OpenAI and his rivals need Hype. Meanwhile one thing is evident: what companies sell us (“we are close to the AGI” or “with AI you can do everything Better and faster“) is away from reality. They sell expectations and Hype. TOI remove the best example is OpenAi, which needs that message to continue raising Gigantic investment rounds that allow you to continue burning money As if there were no tomorrow.
