Is AI Adoption in Decline? Where do we go from here?


I've been working on a project pre-ChatGPT, it seems like once ChatGPT was released everyone rapidly came in, explored various tools, and then got frustrated with them and moved on. I even find myself nearly automatically dismissing anything beyond a foundation model.

Is anyone else getting this same impression?

Typically how do environments like this recover long-term?

It seems almost akin to a very publicly failed product launch of a product that ultimately will be the standard.

In situations like this do they typically come back rather steadily or does it take longer to generate public trust again?

Anecdata: performed an LLM-based proof of concept at the request of management. Users were underwhelmed. Not a compelling technology in actual practice. Once we had it clamped down enough to mostly not lie to our users, it didn't do anything particularly interesting.
