May I introduce the dot-com bubble? That whole internet company thing sure turned out to be useless fad, huh?
Just like back then, people don't really yet know what AI is useful for, or what it can actually in its current and the near future form do, but they are throwing it against the wall to see what stick because if someone manages to find the winning formula first, they'll be unbelievably rich. See, this small book store called "Cadabra" - you may know it better by their current name: Amazon. Or a silly side project of a General Magic employee everyone said was stupid and useless, Ebay.
AI will be over hyped, over used, the bubble will burst, and we'll be left with the ones that actually made a lick of sense from usability and cost standpoint.
