AI’s Biggest Problem Isn’t Intelligence Anymore

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers · host Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

AI models are already remarkably capable, but their intelligence doesn’t matter much if they’re too expensive, limited, or confusing to use. In this edition of the Web News, Matt and Mike discuss why cheaper and faster models, higher usage limits, and a better user experience could be more important than winning the next benchmark - and why the future of AI may be about making today’s technology genuinely usable.
