Guys stop saying there is winter this and winter that, it's all part of the Gartner hype cycle:
1. it all started with a technology trigger (much to the like of early AI development by Turing and McCarthy)
2. then we reach the Peak of Inflated Expectations (trying to solve real world hard problems like Travelling Salesman)
3. and swamp through the Trough of Disillusionment (Death of LISP machine and overall major AI projects halts)
4. until the Slope of Enlightenment (accidental discovery of using GPU to accelerate AI computation)
5. and finally reaching the Plateau of Productivity (developing Tensorflow, PyTorch, and the overall AI democratization though the use of DL and AutoML).
We have just barely in between the stage of Peak of Inflated Expectations and going to Trough of Disillusionment for Quantum Computing and very much likely to stay for a while. Don't you worry child, It's all part of the cycle.
- pessimizer 4y agoGuys, stop saying Gartner hype cycle this and Gartner hype cycle that. Not every failing overhyped idea is secretly a future winner. Sometimes, there's actually a 3D TV winter.
