"AI" has always been a fad, and I have said so multiple times. It is about as useful/interesting as "smart speakers" were 5 years ago.

The hype behind it has been absurd, which is finally fading now that reality has set in. A reality which includes the recent "Windows Recall" fiasco from Microsoft. That alone has certainly made lots of people way less excited about "AI" than they were last year. The whole "Copilot PC" thing could easily be abandoned in a couple years.

Yes, it could turn out to be marginally useful. In some cases. But it is NOT going to "replace all artists/programmers/whatever". It will NEVER have "nuclear power plants built next to every AI data center". What could possibly go wrong there? Not to mention that it takes at least 10 years to get a nuclear power plant designed/built/licensed/online. For obvious reasons.

As I said, the hype been totally ridiculous. Much of that hype has been right here. This place is much better now that the "AI" hype circus is fading.

Hmmm....
"Microsoft has recently posted its Q4 2024 results, kicking off a new financial year with a total revenue increase of 15% to $64.7 billion and a net income rise of 10% to $22 billion.
As expected, the Redmond-based tech giant has recorded a strong performance in AI and cloud sectors. The company’s cloud segment, particularly its Intelligent Cloud division, saw significant growth, contributing $28.5 billion and representing nearly 45% of total revenue."
