AI is not exactly niche.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

It keeps being hyped up again every once in a while years, but it has never, will never, panned out in practice.

  • I don't know if you're out of the loop but the AI scene has dramatically changed in the past few years. We are solidly out of the AI winter.

    • Talking about having left "the" AI winter because we're in the middle of a hype cycle makes about as much sense as saying we can get rid of all the snow plows because the trees are currently green.

      There's a lot of money in the space, yes. There's still nothing of substance.
