AI is the new NFT

This weeks trend: The AI Bubble

I don’t know about you, but I am so bored of hearing about AI.

I get it, new technology is exciting. But we are in a massive hype cycle here. Now I’m not saying that AI and machine learning is not amazing tech. It is. But what we’re seeing now is nothing new.

ChatGPT has sent Twitter threadbois over the edge, but the reality is that language processing technology has been around for ages. We’ve had predictive text since the days of the Nokia 3310 (what a time to be a teenager btw).

Google Docs has had it for years and Grammarly was founded in 2009. Spotify recommends you songs based on your listening history. Tons of financial apps categorise your monthly spending and provide a personal budget projection for next month. The first version of Siri was created back in 1993!

All of this is machine learning. It’s all really cool. And none of it is new.

Not only that, but now Web3 and NFT grifters have another get rich quick scheme to latch on to. Great.

So, my prediction? AI will keep trending up, and then very quickly down. Unicorns like Jasper will die, and we’ll be left with some great tech integrated into the products and services we already use.

Useful? Yes. OMG ThE WorLD HaS ChAnGeD FoReVeR!!!!?? No
