Remember 4y ago, when 5G was the next big thing?
Self-driving cars thanks to 5G?
Every industry will be transformed and every single production line will have a 5G campus network.
We will only stream games over 5G!
5G was so frigging important, we needed to ban Huawei from building cell towers because otherwise, they could shut down our whole economy because our whole economy depends on 5G?
Well, that turned out to be a hype. Of course, it did not go away, just like AI will not go away. But it will have a completely different focus, than what most think now. I see a bigger future for AI in girlfriend simulators or user preference adult movies than in replacing STEM jobs.
Except the difference is that anyone with a brain can figure out that 5G is just faster internet. Most applications aren’t limited by slow internet speeds. LTE is usually enough.
The AI hype is just different. It’s real in my opinion.
I am not denying that and totally agree. But it was still enough to scare gov into banning huawei.
And I am also not claiming that Ai is not real. The question is more, for what? I think some use cases are currently undervalued (like adult entertainment) while some are overvalued (Ai replacing coders)
I'm a software dev. AI might be closer to replacing devs than you think. At least low level devs.
