> Artificial life fizzled as a meta discipline I've wondered for a while if Artificial Life is in its own winter, waiting for someone to apply the lessons of scale we learned from neural nets.
every other article these days on this site is about AI. And it's incredibly tedious and annoying. Isn't it enough that clueless marketers who get their Tech knowledge from businessinsider and bloomberg are constantly harping on about AI.

Outside of pure tech companies, there's a lot of "Head of AI" hiring by CTOs to show "we are doing AI" regardless of if they have found any application for it yet.
I've also seen a lot of product pivots to AI where they don't really have a need or explanation for the use case that AI helps with.
Further I've seen a number of orgs that were laggards in their internal technology become incredibly distracted thinking AI will solve for them not having even a proper rudimentary 2010s class IT org.
I think the comedown from this will be worse than crypto as while there will be more real use cases, there is far more hype based "we have to do something" adoption that hasn't found a use yet. A lot of orgs that remained weary of crypto got fully on the AI bandwagon. Investment must be an order of magnitude more.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Personal anecdotes on the benefits of using LLMs don't address complaints about tedious articles over-marketing AI tech. That LLMs provide benefits is well known at this point, it doesn't mean we can't recognize the latest hype cycle for what it is. There's a long list of previous technologies that were going to "change everything".
surely it's not hype if it works?

On a quick count it seems to be more like 1/10. Maybe just ignore them and read something else?
I'm interested in the AI stuff personally.
