Amara's law says “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.”
Lots of overestimated excitement about how AI will change the world right now, which is to say, AI ain't going to change the world in the next few years.
But in the long term, AI will underpin everything.
I wonder if, in the future, it will not really be possible to know what is going on in the Internet at a deep technical level - that it will be self managed AI all the way down.
