Summary: Unpacking the AI Hype Cycle
Are we repeating history with AI? As a seasoned software engineer, I see striking parallels between the current AI frenzy and the infamous blockchain hype cycle.
Key Insights:
- Unlearned Lessons: Like blockchain, AI is saturating the market with buzzwords without substance.
- Marketing Over Technology: AI-powered products pop up everywhere, lacking real innovation.
- Misinformed Evangelism: Just as blockchain had its “crypto bros,” AI boasts “prompt bros” confidently proclaiming expertise without the experience.
- Two Extremes: We see the polarized views of the tech-savvy warning against unrealistic expectations and the uninformed cheering for revolutionary changes.
What’s Next?
Real transformation often happens quietly, away from the noise. The real innovations will emerge when the hype fades and genuine progress takes center stage.
