I understand the ethical and environmental implications, but aside from that it feels like 3D TVs/Handhelds/Monitors and 3D Movies all over again. I recognize 3D video still exists, but for a couple years there they were very ready to tell you HOW CERTAIN WE ARE THAT 3D IS WHAT YOU WANT ON ALL YOUR SCREENS ALL THE TIME and EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER STOPPED PUSHING IT ON PEOPLE LIKE THIS CONSTANTLY FOR THAT ENTIRE TIME eventually they gave up and went away.
In some ways this is slightly trickier because Machine Learning seems almost certain to be what propels us to the next age of technology, IMO, and is likely already doing so in more ways than I realize or than most of us do.
I still see GenAI the way it's currently pushed as nothing but a destroyer of authenticity and enabler of corporate greed.
I think AI will go more the route of 'the cloud' rather than 3D movies. It has valid use cases, but by now no one's really hyping up the cloud anymore. It just exists for the scenarios it makes sense and most of the bullshit use cases have died off to one degree or another. AI will eventually lose its appeal as a buzzword and then it'll just be there for the stuff that's worth the cost.
The big die off will happen when companies stop subsidizing it and try to charge what it's actually costing them to run.
