Agreed. And lacking apparent growth area is another reason. We had social media and rapid development of e-commerce in the 2000s, mobile revolution in the 2010s. What do we have now that sweeps the entire industry? Gen AI? But many companies are still trying to figure out what Gen AI can truly revolutionize.

10 years ago we had everyone trying to find a legit use for blockchain.

Agreed, but Gen AI already has a lot of use cases, the challenges are with “taming” the technology - Rare hallucinations, RAG (or equivalent) figured out, more deterministic.

Assuming some of these challenges are solved, integrations will follow.

Imagine the web before CSS, JS, AJAX. That’s where we are with Gen AI.

No doubt Gen AI has lots of use cases. I'm just not sure if the use cases can lift the entire IT sector for the next N years like mobile or e-commerce used to do.

We still haven't found a good one yet, either.
