There's certainly room for debate, but I've taken to just ignoring the people who proclaim that AI is merely a passing fad or a useless parlor trick. I can't predict much, but I can confidently say I won't be the only one ignoring them.
Yeah, that makes sense to me for a lot of reasons. Recently decide to take the plunge and start introducing AI tools in my startup. Fairly cheap experiment, all things considered - three months of giving it a try as a team and then we'll make a call. Time will tell!
