Given that the Hacker News frontpage has been taken over by GPT-3/DALL-E/Stable Diffusion in the past couple months, consumer AI popularity definitely is not fading away.
- rexreed 4y agoThe HackerNews community is not reflective of the general tech, consumer, or business environment. First-hand experience in delivering and selling AI solutions to enterprises and governments plus activity at conferences, venture capital investment, and other measures are showing that interest in AI is generally cooling off, even if there are interesting things happening with generative transformer models, which is where the interest is currently.
