#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#AIHype#Science: "I don't do predictions, but I do spend a good bit of time these days pondering how things might play out when the current AI hype bubble finally pops, or slowly deflates, or drifts away, or whatever it does. It seems clear by now that the engine keeping this hot air balloon (if I can abruptly switch to a nearby metaphor) inflated and afloat is the frothy interest of venture capitalists and the finance side of Big Tech. But that air has been blowing so hot and so long now that its miasma has long since infected just about every other sector. And I worry that when the VCs start focusing somewhere else, we'll still be stuck digging out from entrenched surveillance as well as business processes that have been contorted to jump on the ChatGPT bandwagon."
