Ask HN: I am ready for the next AI winter

Do people think that there is too much hype around AI these days?

I know, chatGPT is here, and AGI is almost here - they say.

But are there significant new revenue streams from AI? Or other breakthrough “added value”?

Or, as my hypothesis goes:

Yes, there is real added value from recent AI developments, but it doesn’t outweigh all the hype.

Instead, too many companies across industries (finance, pharma, government) “waste” their attention on AI, instead of focusing on higher-value areas like getting good at data management, making quality software, and improving their management practices.

Therefore, an AI winter would actually do good, and let the world focus on higher value areas.

What do you think?
