Right now it seems like its “A.I.”. Still big now are the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Recently we had COVID 19.
What’s next?

I see AI as something that will go the way of VR or cryptocurrencies or self-driving cars, it won’t fully go away but people will realize that it is not suitable for nearly the number of use cases or improving as quickly as it was claimed it would and will sort of forget about it in most of the areas where it is not really improving anything.
I think you’re failing to create a distinction between AI and LLMs.
We use AI every day already. Fuzzy logic, state machines, video game NPCs. All very useful, even if some of it is only used for fun. AI is good. LLMs are only one kind of AI.
Yeah, I was mostly talking about the kinds that appeared in the hype wave in the last few years. Those are not just LLMs though, also generative AI for images and videos and image recognition / classification among others.
AI is currently being used in both the wars OP mentioned.
Its primary use is always going to be in Surveillance Capitalism. The idea we can get nice things from it is mainly a consolation prize.
I mean yes I can now get AI to draw me a picture or write me an editorial. But meanwhile the IDF can get AI to choose people to kill and use the Wheres Daddy AI program to tell them when someone is at home so they can deliberately bomb him with his family.
So yeah it isn’t much for consumers but it’s not going away for use on us.
I think those use cases show how particularly bad AI really is considering how many wrong targets they have been bombing and how many bad recommendations consumers still get.
