The hype on VR dying so fast does not bode well for gen AI. Unfortunately, C-suite brass will continue to insist that everyone, deep down, wants it. If they don't think they want it, it's only because they haven't had it shoved in their face nearly enough.
- bowsamic 2y agoHow are VR and gen AI related?
- efnx 2y agoI think the sentiment is that they’re both hype bubbles.
- pjmlp 2y agoI guess, Apple coming late to the VR party, when everyone else that did headsets was already in the AI party.
- mjhay 2y agoThey're not particularly related technologically, but they share the characteristic of reaching insane valuations because of whizz-bang sci-fi coolness and neophilia being mistaken for actual utility. The tech industry has been through a few of these.
- pennomi 2y agoVR was always a solution looking for a problem. Gen AI has obvious uses even today, and billions of uses once it becomes smarter.

- viridian 2y agoThe difference is, lots of companies are building out AI solutions right now. And when I say lots, I mean a significant percentage of fortune 500s who never had any intention of touching crypto or VR with a ten foot pole. Also, based on my own user feedback, we've started to get requests across different apps with different user slices, all asking us for what amounts to replacing or adding AI chatbots on top of search (presumably withb some type of RAG implementation). The demand is definitely there.
