Yes! Pretty much everyone I talk to says we’re at peak AI. I think the contrarian position is actually that it’s not a bubble, and not enough people are prepared for it.
There’s also this very weird thing where we just somehow never extrapolate. I keep hearing, “What has AI done so far?” or “What about X thing it fails at?” It’s such a static, backward-looking view of what AI has done. It’s like saying, “2 became 4, and 4 became 8. Sure, but I don’t see a 64.”
Follow the trend lines. These things will keep improving. The only surprise is that we keep getting surprised.
