Remember how smartwatches were a big deal and now no one cares? That'll probably happen with ai. Hopefully in 10 or so years whatever losses corporations suffer when all the money they've invested goes to waste will help the common person somehow. Maybe gpus and computer parts will stop costing so much for example. Maybe their leadership will collapse, things will change and the tech industry will be a good place to work again.

Realistically, it'll take 2 decades to hammer-out AI to the level that it's truly-mission-trustworthy.
Right now, everybody's "high".
It's the same with all technologies..
Remember a few years ago, when somegody discovered you could power things with steam?
Remember the hype?
The whole coal industry, remember that?
The business with the invention of the horseless carriages?
The invention of the wheel was before my time, but I'm sure it was hyped on Myspace or something, back in the day..
