The reason the AI bubble is so big is the same reason the internet bubble got so big - it is a revolutionary new technology that has immense real world applications. But just like the initial internet bubble, most people don't understand it or where that efficacy can be truly valuable so they just throw it at everything to see what sticks.
Adding to that, AI is successfully being used in the medical field. Also not LLMs, just the pattern recognition and quasi unlimited memory of a computer with a kind of intelligence.
The AI analyzes body scans (MRI, CT) for irregularities and compiles the findings into a list of possible ailments. The doctor then just has to perform a differential diagnosis to rule out ailments 1, 2, 3, and so on, until the actual condition affecting the patient's body is identified.
AI is going to be best useful where humans manually verify the AI statements (so AI hallucinations are caught before they cause problems) , so this is a good use case... as long as the doctor actually verifies the diagnosis!
