VC’s are where the hype is, all those AI companies will disappear too when the AI hype dies.

And that's the circle of silicon valley. AI with last longer though, it has actual practical applications and already is generating a ton of money. It'll start to die down once more people realize that its hallucinations kill a lot of its applications, which we'll need another technology breakthrough for that. It's a problem that's possible to solve though. I just hope for the collapse of OpenAI.

Certainly, that's why I said AI hype. Machine learning is already invaluable in many fields. Its ability to generate new content, is certainly not flawless, but already has some uses. I just hope that the hype dies down and companies stop putting pointless and flawed AI integration in their products to please investors.
