AI right now reminds me exactly of the blockchain/crypto hype. People trying to apply blockchain to everything, calling something a "blockchain" based solution. However, blockchain based solutions never panned out, as it was an attempt to apply technologies to use cases rather than solving actual problems. Now when you say "blockchain based X", people will scoff at you. AI will follow the same path I believe, as LLMs are less applicable to solve meaningful problems than expected.

With Bitcoin at 100k+ USD and LLMs and generative AI being used daily by tons of people including myself, your comment makes 0 sense to me.

The only reason people will stop talking about them is because they've become completely normal in their daily lives IMO.

They're referring to a trend from around a decade ago where people started trying to add "blockchain" (not bitcoin) to projects that really didn't need anything of the sort because it sounded neat and they wanted a marketing boost.

ChatGPT and coding helpers are the only useful applications. Just like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only useful cryptocurrencies. Hence the limited applications for either technology

Blockchain and crypto need a solid technical understanding just to interface with it. With ChatGPT and AI, it's accessible to people with basic literacy, and with voice, even that's optional. I do see how these emerging technologies are similar but they also have key differences.

At a surface level, but to do anything meaningful, you likely need to understand deeper technical details like RAG, context windows, tokenization, etc
