I've noticed people have been talking less and less about AI lately, particularly online and in the media, and absolutely nobody has been talking about it in real life.

The novelty has well and truly worn off, and most people are sick of hearing about it.

The hype is still percolating, at least among the people I work with and at the companies of people I know. Microsoft pushing Copilot everywhere makes it inescapable to some extent in many environments, there's people out there who have somehow only vaguely heard of ChatGPT and are now encountering LLMs for the first time at work and starting the hype cycle fresh.

It’s like 3D TVs, for a lot of consumer applications tbh

Goddamn

3D has been a thing every 15 years or so

3D TVs were a commercial fad once and I haven't seen them in forever.

2016 may have been the end of them
