Are those the first cracks in the AI market bubble?

Is it a bubble if it’s useful and I use it dozens of time a day?

It can be useful in certain contexts, most certainly as a code co-pilot, but that and yours/others' usage doesn't change the fundamental mismatch between the limits of this tech and what Sam and others have hyped it up to do.

We've already trained it on all the data there is, it's not going to get "smarter" and it'll always lack true subjective understanding, so the overhype has been real, indeed to bubble levels as per OP.

I would appreciate another example where a major new communications technology peaks in its implementation within the first year after it is introduced to the market.

FTX / crypto, which just imploded last year.

Look, I'm an AGI/AI researcher myself. I believe and bleed this stuff. AI is here to stay and is forever a part of computing in many ways. Sam Altman and others bastardized it by overhyping it to current levels, derailing real work. All the traction OpenAI has accumulated, outside of github copoilot / codex, is itself so far away from product-market fit that people are playing off the novelty of AGI / the GPT/AI being on its way to "smarter" than human rather than any real usage.

Hype in tech is real. Overhype and bubbles are real. In AI in particular, there's been AI winters because of the overhype.

It seems we are talking about multiple different things. I never denied hype was a thing.

You’re talking about hype cycles now. Previously it seemed like you said AI was not going to be advancing.

LLMs are maybe headed into oversold territory, but LLMs are not the end of AI, even in the near term. They are just the UI front end.
