Comment on AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful

Or like the blockchain 5 years ago
Or like VR 10 years ago
Or like 3D 15 years ago
It is the hot new thing that you have to use for the VCs to fund your company and for investors to buy your stocks, regardless of the actual utility. AI does seem to have at least more possibilities of usage than those technologies, but it also have an incredibly higher possibility of misuse that is being completely ignored by these companies

It was always clear that VR, 3D, blockchain were fads. But AI is already useful as is. The hype may not be as high in the future but AI is here to stay.

VR is also around, it’s possibly the most popular it’s ever been. It’s still a small niche compared to its initial promise.

Linux on desktop is more popular than VR…

I strongly disagree. 3D, VR and blockchain have limited use. They were just extremely overhyped. It’s the exact same now with AI. It has uses, yes, but you don’t need it in your toothbrush.
