IlandarGenerative AI hype is ending – and now the technology might actually become useful
Is it me or is there something very facile and dull about Gartner charts? Thinking especially about the “””magic””” quadrants one (wow, you ranked competitors in some area along TWO axes!), but even this chart feels like such a mundane observation that it seems like frankly undeserved advertising for Gartner, again, given how little it actually says.
And it isn’t even true in many cases. For example the internet with the dotcom bubble. It actually became much bigger and important than anyone anticipated in the 90s.
The graph for VR would also be quite interesting, given how many hype cycles it has had over the decades.
It’s also false in the other direction: NFTs never got a “Plateau of Productivity”.
A lot of tech hype are just convoluted scams or ponzi schemes.
