My main issue is that I see "AI" being used in use cases where it's not really a good solution simply because business can generate interest simply by including "AI". That it's being used as marketing either to the end-user or towards other executives who don't know better. We'll just slap some AI on it and look at us, we're futuristic!And that's the point that I'm making. You're generalizing that all AI and all Gen AI will disappear based on a use case that isn't really the case that many businesses use it for. It's perfectly useful for other applications in business that give a bigger lift that creating a video or an image.
If you'd said something like the use of GenAI to wholesale create art or video might be cooling off soon because of limitations, that would be a very much smaller scope than all GenAI will reach a cooling off period, and it would be one that I could possibly see.
But just the amount of time it saves in a lot of use cases is a reason that it's nowhere near a cooling-off period in business applications, and that's just touching the tip of the iceberg.
And in mission critical operations, AI assistance is generally worse than not having it because humans tend to become reliant upon AI assistance and assume it is correct if it has success rate of around 85-90% or better meaning they miss the errors it generated and let them through. This is true on everything from software developers using generated code to autopilot systems (both for cars and aircraft) to people trusting what ChatGPT tells them. It's a long known phenomenon. It's why Teslas (Cybertruck excluded) have better safety systems than many other cars yet have a crash rate higher than the Pinto. People trust the self-drive even though it's not a trustable system.
So the die down I'm talking about is a scaling back in how applications and services utilize AI where executives got over eager and are suddenly finding out that it won't deliver quite as they expected. I'm not saying there aren't totally valid use cases. I'm saying executives caught another tech marvel coming out of the Valley and got over eager about it and now they're out past the end of their skis. There are going to be some absolutely perfect uses for it, no doubt at all. But the current state of "AI" is evolutionary, not revolutionary.
