It ISN’T! Not that I’m an AI expert but I started out as a computer programmer. My best source for AI is Andrej Karpathy, the former head of AI at Tesla. There is a paradigm shift between the heuristic programming methodology I was brought up on and how neural networks generate AI. Heuristics is basically boolean thinking while neural networks are brute force, the more data and the bigger, more powerful computer will generate the best results. Andrej Karpathy said that there is a direct correlation between data and computer power and quality of output. What that means is that AI productivity is highly correlated with capital availability. That gives the rich players and the big data collectors the advantage. Google has tons of data. Tesla has tons of driving data from millions of cars on the road. Tesla has FSD, RoboTaxis, and the Optimus robot to monetize the AI.
I think the key will be who can best monetize the AI. Nvidia is monetizing AI as a chip supplier while Tesla is/will monetize it as an AI user. How can companies monetize Large Language Models?
