Just waiting for the same to happen with AI.
- streetcat1 7y agoAI is hyped from the fifties. It might be the real thing today.
- _bxg1 7y agoIt was hyped in the 80s, and real advances were made, and then it crashed. Now it's hyped again, and real advances are being made, but it's still set to crash again. The problem is that "AI" is too big and romanticized a term. Symbolic reasoning is a real technology; neural nets are a real technology; AI is at best science fiction, at worst marketing fluff. So despite having some real substance, the hype still outpaces the reality.
