    For those of us who have been around the block a few times, AI is going to just be invisible in a few years, replaced by the new marketing buzzword, probably “Quantum”.

    Source: Seen it before when the word was “Cloud”. Oh, it’s all in the Cloud! Cloud, cloud, cloud.

    Before that it was “Virtualization”. It’s going to make everything more efficient!

    Man, I need to make an AI powered quantum cloud virtualization.

      Quantum entangled communications that are impossible to evesdrop on exist now, cloud computing is the money machine that allows Amazon to keep expanding, virtualisation is used by effectively every company using computers at scale. (blockchain, I’ll admit, was pretty much all hype and vapourware other than laundering drug money and allowing speculation)

      Just because there is marketing hype around a term doesnt mean there isnt anything of value there.

        And yet nobody is currently talking about them, having the marketing push replaced with AI.

        In a few years, AI tech will be silent, behind the scenes, and if anyone mentions it at all it will be “hey, remember when everyone was talking about AI?” while we’re all removed about the new marketing buzzword.

        I’ve been working in tech for 30+ years and involved in tech for close to 50 now. I’ve seen this pattern over and over again.

          I mean, it’s not in the news anymore, but it’s definitely talked about. Businesses need to decide if they’re hosting on-prem or in the cloud, and if it’s cloud they’ll want to decide which provider, etc etc. It’s just become part of the system.
