- duskwuff 2y agoIf the success of a single company -- indeed, a single product -- is really that pivotal, the industry is already on the brink of collapse.
- bigfishrunning 2y agoAnother winter is inevitable, but how soon will it come?
- Davidzheng 2y agoIt's not inevitable
- Jensson 2y agoAI is fundamental research, it is inevitable that funding for AI research will dry up at some point in the future just like all such research. AI winter doesn't mean AI isn't used, it refers to AI research funding shrinking back to the same level as other fundamental research fields.
- GaggiX 2y agoA winter where AI will continue to be used for semantic search, moderation, translation, captioning, TTS, STT, context-aware grammar checker, LLM, audio/image classifier. An AI winter where AI will be used everywhere.

The real bellwether for me will be whether or not Apple, after releasing it's AI features, ever talks about them as a main point in a WWDC again, or if it just gets pushed into "here's something new photos can do (with AI)" like it has for the last x many years.

If reduced expenses come via job elimination, it doesn’t last long in a consumer society. Increased sales through new product categories are an option, but costs will need to come down and reliability will need to increase. Hence the current hopes.
