AI is very legitimately a large scale disruptive force, but its speed of adoption and true value creation will vary greatly industry by industry and application by application. In some cases it helps the long tail of the market: DALL-E and Sora can probably wipe out most of the small business segment of users for stock photos and images, but not replace it for larger companies. Copywriting AI can help independent bloggers but not replace actual journalism. In others it only helps the larger players (using AI for fraud detection, algo investing, medical diagnostics) And then it's also about to become a bigger factor in defense/military. Definitely not a hype or fad
