People really have short memories and thats not a good position from which to understand anything that unfolds over more than a day's worth attention span.

Remember just a few years ago Jack Ma urging everybody to become artists and philosophers because "AI will eat the world"? AI was pushed relentlessly, we got "ethical AI", and "explainable AI" and androids doing the circles impressing the masses. Needles to say things didnt work out as planned. AI did not bring the next industrial revolution.

Fast forward today and every little technical breakthrough is milked to blow some new life in that dead horse. Its most likely a desperate search of early investors to cash out before the next AI winter.

Sure, the tech is cool and useful. But it is also limited and risky and fragile. And very fundamentally: an algorithm does not make a business model.
