I mean, crypto might actually be a fad, but AI is certainly going to be as impactful as the internet was. Yes there will be booms and crashes but overall it will transform society.
For sure. If you’re reading this and haven’t messed around with an llm like chatgpt yet, do yourself a favor and ask it some questions or to perform some simple tasks. Like a search engine, using it is a skill you’ll need to develop, and like anything you read on the internet you need to use due diligence, because it can be wrong. But as long you are aware of its strengths and faults, imo it’s the probably the best research tool since search engines. You’re doing yourself a disservice ignoring it if you think it’s a fad
This was a lot earlier, so I was a little more within my rights and it never technically did, but when I saw early demonstrations of HTML 1.0 websites, I said, “it’s interesting, but it will never replace Gopher.” I’d say it still counts.
lol, I recall being in college in the 90s and us using, I think it was USENET groups. Email was just becoming a thing as well. Everything was very wild west as it is compared to today.
To be fair, the web of that time period no longer really exists. It was replaced with something new that is almost completely profit and ad driven. From that perspective, the Internet you knew back then could be considered a fad.
My dad said this exact same thing to me in the early 2000s with the dawn of the early web. He claimed it was only a fad that would soon die away.
Yup. Fad.
People are saying that about crypto and AI today.

As a 90s kid, I’m offended.
