You're viewing a single thread.
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...
But that's just because

You sound like every Linux user for the last 30 years.
... I use Arch btw
Almost all my colleagues are using genAI every day, I don't know anyone using VR regularly.
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.
But how will we provide an enhanced, metaverse 3D AR blockchain-backed cavity reduction without an LLM?
Nobody used blockchain besides scam artists and money laundering schemes. VR was a super niche toy and was not shoved into anything. 3D was... Okay you have a point with that one, but AI can actually be pretty useful where it's actually useful.
Most people now use chat gpt to some extent voluntarily, without it being shoehorned into an otherwise unrelated product. My mom told me how she was using it to help her rewrite her resume just the other day. I agree that there's a fad of it being forced into everything that doesn't need it, but i think it's here to stay.
Also, agree to disagree on it having an "incredibly higher possibility of misuse". It's just a tool to let people do things they want to do, whether their intentions are good or not.
Or like 4D 20 years ago
Or 5D 30 years ago
In all honesty, it seems like they've been trying to make 3D happen every ten to fifteen years since the 1950s. And they tried making VR a thing in the 80s and 90s, too until it went to sleep for a little while.
I remember wanting one of these so bad when they came out. I even got to play one at circuit City once time.
I played one at… I want to say Wal-mart (or maybe K-mart?). The demo station was on display for maybe a year, but it was never working except for one glorious time I got to play… uh, something, I think either tennis or the Wario platformer. Clearly the game didn't stick in my head, but the overall experience was amazing.
