Yeah but it's Goldman Sachs saying it. Presumably because they haven't invested in AI.
Perhaps we could get a non-biased opinion and also from an actual expert rather than some finance ghoul who really doesn't know anything?

The problem is experts in AI are biased towards AI (it pays their salaries).
You dare to challenge Goldman Sacks?
It's noteworthy because it's Goldman Sachs. Lots of money people are dumping it into AI. When a major outlet for money people starts to show skepticism, that could mean the bubble is about to pop.

Presumably is carrying all the weight of your whole post here

I also hate banks, but usually those guys can sniff out market failures way ahead of the rest of us. All their bacon rides on that, after all

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
I mean they aren't wrong. From an efficiency standpoint, current AI is like using a 350hp car engine to turn a childs rock tumbler, or spin art thingy. Sure, it produces some interesting outputs, at the cost of way too much energy for what is being done. That is the current scenario of using generalized compute or even high end GPUs for AI.
Best I can tell is, the "way forward" is further development of ASICs that are specific to the model being run. This should increase efficiency, decrease the ecological impact (less electricity usage) and free up silicon and components, possibly decreasing price and increasing availablity of things like consumer graphics cards again (but I won't hold my breath for that part).
OK boomer
Wow, I hate Goldman Sachs, but I think they're on to something here...
AI is dangerous...

Goldman Sachs is overhyped and unreliable.
Absolutely true, but the morons (willful and no) will take this as additional proof that it's altogether useless and a net negative.
There’s not a lot I agree with GS on, but this is on the list.
