The GenAI hype continues: "generative AI companies worldwide raised $56 billion from VCs in 2024 across 885 deals. That raw cash total is a new record for the segment. It’s up 192% from 2023, when investors poured $29.1 billion into generative AI startups across 691 deals"

Researchers used AI to generate 288 complete academic finance papers predicting stock returns, complete with plausible theoretical frameworks & citations. Each paper looks and reads as legit.

They did this to show how easy it now is to mass produce "credible" research. Academia isn't ready.

2️⃣ Support (e.g., step-by-step help)
3️⃣ Search & Data Extraction
4️⃣ Meeting Summarization

In particular, code generation and meeting summarization have been such time savers for me. Full report: lnkd.in/d9A2H3Jz
