they don't care. you're not the audience. the tech industry lives on hype. now it's ai because before that they did it with nft and that failed. and crypto failed. tech needs a grift going to keep investors investing. when the bubble bursts again they'll come up with some other bullshit grift because making useful things is hard work.

Yup, you can see it in talks on annual tech conferences. Last year it was APIs, this year it’s all AI. They’ll just move on to the next trendy thing next year.

To be fair, APIs have been around since the 70s,and are not trendy, they're just required to have a common interface for applications to request and perform actions with each other.

But yeah, AI is mostly trendy bullshit

I was referring mostly about security conferences. Last year almost every vendor was selling API security products. Now it’s all AI infused products.
