Software Is Eating the World, But AI Is Going To Eat Software, Nvidia CEO Says (technologyreview.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Nvidia's revenues have started to climb in the recent quarters as it looks at making hardware customized for machine-learning algorithms and use cases such as autonomous cars. At the company's annual developer conference in San Jose, California last week, the company's CEO Jensen Huang spoke about how the machine-learning revolution is just starting. "Very few lines of code in the enterprises and industries all over the world use AI today. It's quite pervasive in Internet service companies, particularly two or three of them," Huang said. "But there's a whole bunch of others in tech and other industries that are trying to catch up. Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software."

AI will drink software's milkshake

I think the Nvidia CEO's been microdosing again. In large quantities.

Yeah, right. I said "make me a ham sandwich" and now I have mustard in my eye and you don't even WANT to know where it put the mayo.

Ooh, Well I Predict

Magic is going to eat both of them. What the hell, right? They're all the same to a CEO. I'm sure AI is the silver bullet that will end all software, but magic is the silver bullet that is going to end AI! Because magic! You still have to tell an AI what you want, and a lot of those guys can barely form a coherent thought, much less put it down on paper. They're too busy synergizing their paradigms! Well magic solves that problem! You don't even have to know what you want! You just wave your magic wand and magic will make you crap daisies and unicorns! And isn't that really what they want?
