I completely agree with this. The timing of this AI hype cycle is very suspicious. Like almost as soon as crypto started to go bust with the collapse of FTX, all of the sudden, here's ChatGPT and a huge inflow of cash into AI startups. My hot take (or maybe it's not that hot) is that post-Trump, and especially post-Jan 6, the general public has really soured on big tech. Combined with the smartphone and social media growth really slowing down, and now, non-zero interest rates, the industry is desperately searching for its "next big thing". Which is why these technologies, first crypto, and now AI, are in turbo mode and speed-running the hype cycle.
