Is the GenAI Revolution over already?

Just recently I saw the article (that probably most of us already noticed with a gentle smile), that AI coding tools can slow down seasoned developers by 19% (on InfoWorld). And just now I came to another article on Futurism, that “AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies”.

Heise.de picked up the article as well (Ernüchterung statt Euphorie: KI-Nutzung in den USA geht zurück) and outlines […]

Was machen wir jetzt mit dieser „KI“?

„Ich bin ein KI-Hasser,“ schreibt Anthony Moser in seinem Blog. Der unglaubliche KI-Hype überdeckt all die negativen Seiten der Technologie. Dazu einige nicht abgeschlossene Gedanken.

The truth about (Gen)AI

(✅ clickbait title)
Recently I attended a GenAI event organized by <big company>. All professional, interesting, insightful. Really good. (Really! I mean it! No sarcasm.)

Until it hit me like a blow during a discussion:

I DO KNOW the whole plot already!

The discussions, the argumentation, the problems, the hopes, the promises of the consulting companies. Startups that make good (ok or bad) products and raise the hopes of the rest of the industry.

We’ve seen it all before with big data and data science – EVERYTHING!

And the problems are the same – not similar, but the same!
When I look at the LinkedIn stream, I really have Groundhog Day.

We really are chasing the Gartner hype cycle. 🙈

Am I against (Gen)AI? Quite clearly: No
But the hype, the exaggerated expectations … do we REALLY need to do this, AGAIN?
Yes, apparently that’s just how we humans / companies tick.

Well .. then: let’s go into the valley of tears as quickly as possible, burn as little money as possible there pointlessly and off to meaningful use.

It’s sad, but there doesn’t seem a way around.

PSA for #journalists, #bloggers & other #writers: You do not have to write about #artificialintelligence.

The #media hype around #AI is off the charts now, as history repeats the #GartnerHypeCycle of the Next Big Thing.

If you must cover AI, just know that most of what you write will turn out to be wrong, and I won't be reading your story anyway (and so won't a whole lot of other people). Beyond the snark, I offer actual reasoning and advice in the Writer's Guide:
