Will GenAI continue to grow or is it on another crypto boom/bust cycle
Of course I'll preface this by saying that I'm an idiot but even I know that ML will always get bigger. But this question is more specific to LLM's- I have the chance to transition internally as a senior full stack to a Gen AI project, wanted to see what yall thought about the long term prospects of being a software engineer on an llm team.
Think in this way. Will tech cease to exist? If not, where will it invest? Making machines imitate humans is essentially infinity and can never be fully achieved. So, you’ll always tend to it. That means, it’s a never ending growth story. The speed will definitely fluctuate and tech will keep on finding different ways to speed things up time to time.
The days of meat machines are over.
In your case it probably doesn't matter -- the so-called gen-ai project is probably just calling APIs provided by external services.
We train our own models but it would be moreso supporting the researchers to successfully deploy their models in an interactive framework
Then it doesn't sound like a bad move. It's always good to learn new things at work.
I think only people that have been using GPT-4, not any other AI, for serious purposes, know the answer. Others will understand in a couple of years.
The premise of the question is wrong. Bitcoin reached another ATH like a month ago, so there is no bust. Higher volatility is to be expected when it comes to adoption of new tech. Amazon was highly volatile too in the beginning.
GenAI is a new technological revolution - not going back. It will probably be like internet, there might be bubble bust some time in the future similar to dot-com bubble but it will permanently changes a lot of things
