A.I. -- Bubble or not?

Yes or no and why. 

My take: There will be clear beneficiaries of this technology and certain sectors of the economy stand to benefit more than others. On the whole, I don't believe it's an advancement in the same vein as the internet. I view it as more of a "tool" than a "product" (the difference can be subtle) and I think the hype is pretty overblown.

I think there is meaningful uplift for different industries but I don’t think the average person will care to use ai that much. Ai might be best used to make manufacturing and heavy machinery more efficient through robots instead of people - I think that’s the coolest and most obvious giant long term tailwind…
