But that thing they all were peddling and getting investors over could be anything! For a while it was "blockchain." Everyone had to do blockchain because everyone was doing blockchain, and investors were giving you money if you say blockchain. I wonder what it will be once the AI bubble bursts.

I swear that every 5-10 years, corporate CEOs all get together in a secret meeting where they all agree on the next buzzword technology. They invite Harvard Business Review and the tech press to give them their marching orders. Then, finally, the white smoke comes forth from the chimney indicating the next bubble buzzword has been chosen, and the industry goes bananas over it for 10 years for no reason.

You have to be honest, though, and admit that ChatGPT/LLMs are usable/used by literally everyone. Crypto is still perceived as a way to fund criminality. Not comparable to be honest.

It "could be anything", but the current AI trends/updates are really impressive. This is why they are investing.

If we reach a limit in the next 5 years, so be it. But it's driving and pushing for a paradigm shift in the way things work - search, coding, tooling, etc. It touches almost anything people do, not a specific group of people, but society as a whole.
