> it's already winter, and we've long been in it In terms of research and innovation, yes, but in economic terms, it has not even begun. There is still huuuge VC and government money being pumped into anything with AI on it. The last AI winter started when the financiers discovered the disconnect between the money they put in and delivery on promises. AI went from an obscure hard CS field that only a few graybeards at MIT knew anything about, to this worldwide meme. Before the default thing your grandmother would tell you to study in college was business. Now your grandmother would tell you to study AI. I'm seeing a lot of people enter this space with the vague goal of getting rich quick. This is the same cohort that jumped into tech in the late 90s and the real estate market in the mid-2000s. It's not the AI of the Norvig and Marvin Minsky days. I couldn't be more bearish about AI. I still love it though. I won't stop studying it when it becomes not cool anymore.
