I don’t remember AI being used as a widespread marketing term until 2-3 years ago. Before that it was just more of a vague tech thing you’d sometimes see, but now every single app seems to have reframed their business to be about AI agents.
- brabel 11mo agoThere have been at least 3 waves of AI before the LLM generation. 70s , 80s and late 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter Early 2010s had a lot of neural networks AI stuff going on and it certainly became a minor hype cycle as well though that kind of resulted in the current LLM wave.
- rsynnott 11mo agoThere was also a small chatbot bubble around 2014-2016 (Microsoft Tay kinda blew it out of the water, and it never recovered), though companies did seem a bit skittish about using the term 'AI' at that point.
- keiferski 11mo agoYes I know that, but those were all largely confined to technology companies and academia. This recent wave seems to affect everything.
