The most viral success of AI is at the same time a symptom of its problems as a daily product

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.

How to scan a product and check with these apps if it is European and what country comes from

Let’s tell you How to scan a product to know if it is European or what concrete country is coming. You can also know the relations that this country has with Spain, the description of the product, and if it is a foreigner you can even know the European alternatives. Due to the geopolitical context, many initiatives of this nature are emerging. In this case it is Several mobile applications They analyze the barcode or the product logo, and they tell you if they are European. We will tell you both the main apps to do this and the way to use them. Apps to know if a product is European Let’s start with a small list with Some applications for scanning products and know if they are European or not. At the moment, there is no multiplatform unified app, but we have several independent apps available for Android or iOS. BUY European for Android: A quite new app that analyzes the products for its barcode, and tells you the company to which they belong and the country they are. Is on Google Play. BUY European for iOS: It is not the same app as for Android, but does the same. You analyze the product barcode and tell you if they are European. It is in the App Store. Buyfromeu for Android and iOS: It allows you to know if a product is really made in Europe, and gives you alternatives. It also allows you to look for alternative for online services. Do not escape anything, you only use a search engine, and this is multiplatform. Is on Google Playand In the App Store. Buyeuropean for iOS: An app that does not analyze the barcode, but the face or cover of the product. Then look for that product and tells you its origin, and it is not European even gives you alternatives. It is in the App Store. How these apps are used In most cases, all you have to do is install the app and give permission to access the camera of your mobile. This permit is necessary to take photos of the barcode or the front of the product you want to analyze. Once you have done this, simply take a picture of the product or bar code, it depends on the app. Sometimes it is not even necessary to take the picture, you just have to point towards it. In any case, When reading the application, it will show you the product data And he will tell you if it is European or not. What this app does when detecting if the product is not European depends on each one, in some cases an alternative can be offered. What you can know with certainty is when one of these products is from some country on the continent.

Anthropic possibly has the best generative product. And not even that guarantees that it survives

AI is an unprecedented money devouring. Anthropic is closing a round of 3.5 billion dollars that triggers its valuation to more than 61,000 million. An astronomical figure for a company with a produce … but that has barely two million monthly active users. And projected income of “only” 1.2 billion for this year. The numbers do not add up. And that is precisely the issue. Anthropic’s problem is not the quality of your product. Claude is, in many ways, the most refined market assistant. His security approach and greater ethics, his warmer communication – as warm is his background color as opposed to Chatgpt nuclear – and his ability to hold coherent and deep conversations have made him the favorite of many demanding users. It is really good. But being the best does not assure you victory in the technology industry. Not even survival. OpenAi has 400 million active weekly users because a bestial brand has been built in AI. Google has a kind of Klapauciusan infinite money trick thanks to Your advertising empire. XAI of Elon Musk takes advantage of the X platform and its own CEO as natural showcases. Microsoft has integrated AI throughout its product ecosystem. And Anthropic? It has a great product with little distribution. It is the perfect paradox: the best assistant that almost nobody uses. The history of technology is full of higher products that ended up losing in front of mediocre but better positioned rivals. Betamax was technically superior to VHS. Apple’s Newton anticipated the iPhone for a while but a chestnut was given. Netscape Domino Internet Before being crushed by Internet Explorer. What we are witnessing is A classic standard warwhere the winner will not necessarily be the best product, but that he achieves the critical mass necessary to establish himself as the new standard of the industry. The uncomfortable reality is that we live in a world, As my said yesterday quate Javier Pastorwith Too many models of AI. Every week a new one arises. Anthropic, Openai, Google, Microsoft, Meta, XAI, Deepseek, Perplexity, Mistral, Alibaba … the list continues to grow. And when the risk capital stops flowing so generously – because at some point it will – many will not survive. The analyst Ed Zitron expresses it bluntly: Anthropic “is not a real company, I could not survive without the beneficence of risk capital.” With losses of 5,600 million last year, it is difficult to refute that statement. Zitron omits that living in losses seized to risk capital is the routine of much of the technological industry, but it is not reason. Anthropic’s strategy seems clear: to position itself as the “most human” alternative against the energy of “Robot God” of Openai. Your demos They include warm color corrections, relaxing jazz music and presenters who sound like normal people speaking normal, not as a Chief of or a Head of proclaiming achievements. It is an intelligent approach. Is it enough? Perhaps the most likely destiny for Anthropic is the acquisition. An excellent product with scarce commercial traction is attractive to giants that seek to improve their own AI offers. Apple, who has not yet shown all its cards in this game, could be a logical buyer, although its shopping history is far from these quantities: its greatest acquisition was that of Beats eleven years ago and paid for it twenty times less than what Anthropic is worth now. In this landscape oversaturated with almost indistinguishable models for the average user, the question is not who has the best technology, but who will survive when the money of the venture capital begins to scarce. And in that battle, having the best product is surely not enough. In Xataka | The new Claude 3.7 of Anthropic simplifies what other models complicate.
