Ahhh this is the moment I've been waiting for. Hype has officially hit stratospheric proportions.

Time to add the words "deep" or "learn" to your startup name and reap in the dough!

It's only hype if it doesn't work. Beating humans at games which were previously thought only humans could play.

Speech recognition, image recognition, translation have all made leaps in last 5 years.

Sure it's silicon Valley and a lot of companies will scam themselves in but I absolutely believe there will be another Google coming out soon or has already been born who will capitalize on AI.

Another Google as in a startup specifically using AI to improve search?

Is Google really going to miss improving search with AI with all their billions and brains?

Parent probably meant another company that goes from $0 to megacorp before your newborn child graduates college. Not a search company.

There may well be that kind of "hype" in the near-term, in startup land, but there is 0 chance that AI itself is hype.
