There are an increasing number of talks about AI being a bubble. Many individuals, news outlets are reporting this. No doubt, a significant hype was created by many influencers perhaps to get a large audience interested in the latest developments. This hype will certainly settle down. It is beginning to settle down, and people are seeing the limitations of the recent advancements in AI. But this will not have any effect on this wave. The wave to automate mental labour. There is a clear direction in which we are headed as a civilization. With the Industrial Revolution, physical labour was replaced by machines. Now, with the AI revolution, mental labour will be replaced by machines. Sure enough, the current technology of LLMs may not be capable of this, but it is capable of automating a lot of mental labour already. The intent is there, the corporations are behind this, a significant number of people also want this, and this is bound to happen. We are just a few Eureka moments away from this happening. And of course, a lot of collective toil and sweat.
