That's the frustrating thing for those of us interested in this field, this bubble will pop harder than any of the previous ones, and sink any serious AI research for decades, yet I too want it to pop to stop all this hype for these broken toys before they do more damage

@jherazob @baldur It will be fine. The current wave of ML application will get assimilated into the mainstream and labels will change. There will always be interesting problems to work on in “general” AI (AGI). The old joke was that we used the label “AI” for the things we didn’t understand. Any thing we understood was labeled “pattern recognition” or something similarly unglamorous. It’s a hype CYCLE, so there will be future ups and downs…
