In contrast, the US spent a mere $298 billion on its Apollo space mission and got something tangible in return: giant rockets that carried human beings to another world and back.
Why is the world getting *so little* from its investment in generative AI, especially compared to other investments that cost less but produced far more?
Setting aside the fact that AI is largely a scam and that the finances of AI are a titanic bubble waiting to pop at any moment, I think that discrepancy in scale is worth considering. Where else have we seen something like that?
