Blockchain and crypto were worse. „AI” has some actual use even if it’s way overblown.
I'm not even understanding what AI is at this point because there's no delineation between moderately sophisticated algorithms and things that are orders of magnitude more complex.
I mean, if something like multisampling came out today we'd all know how it'd be marketed
AI is a ridiculous broad term these days. Everybody had been slapping the label on anything. It's kinda like saying "transportation" and it means anything between babies crawling up to wrap drive and teleportation.
Because most of them are AI
It's just once AI becomes useful (and not magical), we tend to stop calling it AI unless AI gets more VC money.
It's called the AI effect
