I look forward to the day where executive overpromises and engineering underdeliveries bring about another AI winter so the useful techniques can continue without the stench of the "AI" association and so the grifters go bankrupt.
The implosion of this AI bubble is going to have a stupendous blast radius. It’s never been harder to distinguish AI from “things people do with computers” more generally. The whole industry is implicated, complicit, and likely to suffer when AI winter arrives. Dotcom bust didn’t just hit people who were working for pets.com.
