Others are saying this article is bearish, but then...

> A huge amount of economic value is going to be created by AI. Company builders focused on delivering value to end users will be rewarded handsomely.

Such strong speculative predictions about the future, with no evidence. How can anyone be so certain about this? Do they have some kind of crystal ball? Later in the article they even admit that this is another one of tech's all-too-familiar "Speculative frenzies."

The whole AI thing just continues to baffle me. It's like everyone is in the same trance and simply assuming and chanting over and over that This Will Change Everything, just like previous technology hype cycles were surely going to Change Everything. I mean, we're seeing huge companies' entire product strategies changing overnight because We Must All Believe.

How can anyone speak definitively about what AI will do at this stage of the cycle?
