Out of curiosity, what timeframe are you talking about? The recent LLM explosion, or the decades long AI research?

I consider myself an AI skeptic and as soon as the hype train went full steam, I assumed a crash/bubble burst was inevitable. Still do.

With the rare exception, I don’t know of anyone who has expected the bubble to burst so quickly (within two years). 10 times in the last 2 years would be every two and a half months — maybe I’m blinded by my own bias but I don’t see anyone calling out that many dates

Yes, the bubble will burst, just like the dotcom bubble burst 25 years ago.

But that didn't mean the internet should be ignored, and the same holds true for AI today IMO

I agree LLMs should not be ignored, but there is a planetary sized chasm between being ignored and the attention they currently get.
