As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

    I dunno, it could be similar. AI has this aura of being something that every business could make use of, even if they don’t have a concrete use case. I could see “X but with an AI” be a similar bubble to “X but on the web”. We’ll see.

      I got an ad months ago for a “vacuum with AI.”

      I think it was Samsung, it “used AI” to change heights between hard floors / carpet. It’s the kind of thing that would have been marketed as “Algorithmic” in the 2000s or “Auto-vac technology” in the 1960s. Marketing has just reached the point where they jump on anything with almost negative notice.
