      It’s like the dotcom bubble. Everyone got all excited thinking the internet would be the next big thing, change the world, revolutionize the way we do business. And it did. But not without a lot of hot air and snake oil getting sold along the way.

        Not really comparable, maybe. This is more scam and less substance… There is no definition of “AI”, is there? If you bring up the fundamental problems with genAI, they just pivot to expert systems. Classic scam artistry. They know they’re selling hot air, promising digital workers that are already complete failures.

        Of course computers will continue to be used in various ways … Just like we’ve seen since 1951, right?
