Yes - this is how ai has gone on for years ups and downs.
The trouble these days if I’m honest is either people are laser focused on the latest new toy (llm this year) or too new to the field that they don’t have a grounded understanding in what they are doing (ie they will all be trying to remix new models that have actually already been tried)
All of this while AI is still gate kept by companies with huge amounts of compute.
I will say that each new ai summer has gotten more and more dramatic though.
