I just got a bit triggered by the "hype" word. What if the hype was real? It is easy to say that nobody knows how all of this is going to work, and I would say it is a prudent thing to say, but there is value in making a bold prediction from the start instead of just updating your view to respond to change. In one case you are predicting stuff, in the other, just reacting.

But I absolutely agree that in hindsight we are often asking the wrong questions about each new technology.

I keep seeing on HN that AI is a hype, and many here are anti AI (which I get, as a programmer AI made my job less interesting, and I'm even worried about losing it), but where has AI underdelivered?
