The genAI hype is crashing against reality. The profits that the use of genAI have been promised have not materialized. No near-total white-collar jobs wipe-out happened, as some doomsday fortune-teller predicted. Companies re-hire call center agents they fired a while ago. Seems that genAI chatbots wasn’t such a good bet. Codebases are more bug-ridden than ever. Using genAI trained on bananaware (the product matures at the customer’s site) wasn’t such a terrible good idea, neither. I’m still waiting for those butt-ugly genAI images disappearing from blog posts and websites, like some of the 90’ties worst style crimes on the web did.
