There are a lot of comparisons that could be drawn: web 3.0, the internet, the dot com bubble, etc. but I think the most appropriate comparison would be to... AI in the past. No one doubts that there was a lot of value coming from that research. In fact a lot of it is incorperated in our every day life. But it didn't live up to its hype. I suspect the same will be true for this wave of AI (and perhaps an associated AI winter).
- tim333 2y agoMy recollection of AI in the past is that it was nothing like this. If you look at the Wikipedia article 'History of artificial intelligence' for now it has 'AI boom' and '2004 Nobel Prizes' but everything earlier is kind of meh. I remember sitting down with pen and paper to try to write a ChatGPT type chatbot 44 years ago and of course totally failing to get anywhere, but I've followed the goings on since and this is the first time this stuff is working well.
