"Is it a hype?" is a different question, that's just not very interesting to me. Anything will be described as both hyped and good, depending on who you ask. Y

You were previously talking about AI being a bubble and also useful For reference, wikipedia defines a bubble as: "a period when current asset prices greatly exceed their intrinsic valuation". I find that hard to reason about. One way to think about it is that all that AI does is create economic value, and for it to be useful it would have to create more economic value than it destroys. But that's hard to reason about without knowing the actual economics of the business, which the labs are not super transparent about. On the other hand I would imagine that all that infra building by all big players shows some level of confidence that we are way past "is it going to be useful enough?". That is not what reasonable people do when they think there's a bubble, at least that would be unprecedented.
And that's why I was asking.
