After watching the entire world’s reaction to AI, at this point my conclusion is that hype driven development is human nature, and we just need to come to terms with that (but you will have to drag me kicking and screaming).
- azemetre 2y agoMaybe if you think artificially inflating the hype through massive ad campaigns, marketing campaigns, and shoe-horning AI into every product then yeah the world has a reaction to AI. It's mostly been meh, things like Apple Intelligence and Office Copilot have largely fallen flat. If the hype was real none of these AI initiatives would be struggling to make money, but they are. I don't really see it different than the artificial web3 hype, the only difference being that LLMs are use for extreme happy path scenarios.
- snek_case 2y agoThe problem is that Apple intelligence is currently kinda useless. They rushed it into production in a misguided effort to "stay relevant". It may take a few years but we should eventually get useful personal assistant type AIs. I would say LLMs are very useful for specific scenarios. They're also getting better. Just takes time to iron out the kinks.
- staunton 2y ago> I don't really see it different than the artificial web3 hype It's also little different than the .com bubble... I think this teaches us that a thing can be hyped into the stratosphere, suck very much, crash and burn, and then go on to eat the world...
