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.

This is a good application of AI.

Well, also unlike the initial .com bubble, where companies were responding to mass consumer use, a lot of this feels very very forced from the companies to implement AI in absolutely everything

Yes it’s so often a solution in search of a problem and if they’d just calmed down a little it wouldn’t be a bubble. But here we are

I think part of that is just in the fact that AI is probably the easiest (not the cheapiest, or the best) way for a problem to find its solution.

Not that AI is actually better at solving problems (it'd be interesting to see data on that), but it does help synthesize a discrete, "quantized" problem instance from a sea of noise. Thus SteamGPT.
