As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

That's an incredibly bad comparison. LLMs are already used daily by many people saving them time in different aspects of their life and work. Crypto on the other hand is still looking for it's everyday use case.

Yeah, I assumed the general consensus was "alt coins" in crypto or the scams themselves are the "bubble". But, Ethereum and initial projects that basically create the foundational technologies (smart contracts, etc) are still respected and I'd say has a use case, but is not "production ready?". So for AI/ML in LLMs at least, things like LLaMa, Stability's, GPT's, Anthropic's Claude, are not included in this bubble, since they aren't necessarily built on top of each other, but are separate implementations of a foundation. But, anything a layer higher maybe is.

Right, but how much time is it actually saving when you have to fact check everything you put into it anyway?
