An AI boom is a period of rapid growth in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The current boom is an ongoing period that originally started from 2010 to 2016, but saw increased acceleration in the 2020s.

The use of scatological terminology with a -fication suffix was in occasional use in the late 2010s and early 2020s, including with reference to degrading software systems. A 2018 Naked Capitalism post referred to the “crapification” of software used by Boeing and Wendy A. Woloson used the term “encrappification” to describe the proliferation of cheap goods in American economic history.

I don’t know, maybe a asked the wrong question. I feel tech always degrades but the current wave of accelerated degradation is being driven by predictive algorithms and more and more recently by AI code too.

So if there is a bubble, wouldn’t it pop when the majority of people stop using this technology because they are convinced makes things too “shit”?
