AI has the momentum only from investors and banks. But unfortunately, the paying customers are few and far between. Also, don’t forget that these companies are losing money even on the paying customers. There doesn’t seem to be any path to profitability for these companies. So, no wonder everyone is saying it’s a bubble.

I thought it was also considered a bubble because so much money has been invested in all those projects now that couldn’t possibly return any revenue in 100 years or so.

  It’s even worse than that, because the more users they have the more expensive the tools are to run. It’s the opposite of how economy of scale is supposed to work. I forget the exact numbers but apparently for every dollar they make they lose 2 or 3x that.
  
  Every new iteration of their models is also exponentially more expensive to run. They desperately need the output to improve because of how inconsistent it is, but doing that only increases the money hemorrhage.
  
  There’s basically no way out from what I’ve been reading about it.

I use AI some, but if it vanished, it woukd not change anything and I would just go back to my okd ways.

Also, my two cents, the biggest hinderance is how prudish they are, because they are disgustingly prudish. How many but tech pushes worked because of porn? Most of these mainstream AIs just shit the bed at the most PG tier conversations or actions. Basically, the current push by the hugely conservative nanny state is clashing with these people’s desire to push this stuff into the Mainstream.
