The Productivity J-Curve explains why PCs and the internet took years to deliver measurable economic gains.
Some argue the same applies to AI. But not every technology eventually delivers its promised payoff. Remember enterprise blockchain?
Outside of coding, how can we tell whether AI is different?
@carnage4life I have probably spent more time in the past year explaining the Gartner Hype Cycle than in the rest of my career combined. At work (Google) I emphasize to my team that we should figure out what the Plateau of Productivity looks like for AI and be there when the bubble pops and tokens are no longer subsidized.

@carnage4life Ok, but "Enterprise Blockchain" is only good as an example to show that LinkedIn thought leaders are not really useful indicators. There was obviously never a "there" there.
An immutable ledger is a useful concept, but not revolutionary in itself. Permissionless systems work only for global currencies (and we already have one), and then not very well.
A "permissioned blockchain" is just a database and a CA in a trenchcoat, with a couple of extra layers of complications noone needs.
