What you’re noticing is a sort of active “commodity fetish” with this AI stuff.
Just like NFTs only bigger. Just like 80’s era diet pills. Or 90’s era whatevers.
It’s a facet of capitalism to drive consumption and move to profit as quickly as possible. I think we are still in the “gauge and gamble” phase, but eventually in a season or to we will see it hit and bilk the general public.
We all know “AI” has been a “thing” since ML or Soundex or PID loops, or small models, etc.
It’s just “finally” hit a downhill allowing some momentum to build.
