I think penetration into society is a really nebulous statement. It’s possible AI (Even Generative AI) will penetrate society long before we know about it.

In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me that Wall Street is already using it to trade some non-insignificant fraction of the US economy. Similar to how Linux is probably holding modern civilization together behind the scenes but most people are completely oblivious.

Sorry yes, I meant generative AI since we were talking about a “bubble”. Obviously there are other forms of AI that are more mature and deployed, but that’s not what the hype is about.
