AI is the new 3D printing. Cool novelty that will undoubtedly change the world somehow, but I hope we avoid letting it become this creation that is played out within 5years, overapplied, and shoved into any process whether it improves the product or not because its "the future". I'm about two AI support bots from snapping.

I know this wasn’t your point, but I’m a 3D printing enthusiast and I follow what’s going on in the industry.

I wouldn’t consider 3D printing played out, but I would say that it’s become more boring in the last few years. This is a good thing because it means that it’s being sustained by real work (e.g. medical, prototyping, micro-manufacturing) rather than hype.

I do agree that there was a hype phase, though, and the AI hype phase will probably be similar if not bigger.

Where do you see AI support bots? Don't think I ran into those yet.

Every chatbot on a webpage or in any app.

Those are not AI, those are MCQ. I think I've seen just one that allowed you to have a "real" convo.
