Being in enterprise software I have heard AI/Generative AI so many times since chatgpt became mainstream. Every fortune company I have spoken to wants to get on this train.
That's not in any way to dismiss the real usefulness of the technology, it's just that in the short term it will likely be blindly applied to everything. Some of which will stick and become useful.
It seems the AI hype is quite justified, considering the massive progress that was made over the last ten years.
Edit: The Gartner diagram seems especially not suited for AI. Advanced AI is, in a clear sense, the final technology. The technology with the potential of creating new technology, including better versions of itself. Anything that is technologically achievable at all (consistent with the laws of physics) must be solvable with sufficiently advanced AI. Gartner, at best, applies to some forms of narrow AI.

Yeah, this is the typical thing that happens when marketing (collectively) finds a new thing to hype.

Personally I'm just glad to see the back of blockchain hype. AI seems to me to be much more consequential.
