AI went through a phase of hype, leading to an oversaturation of content and a questioning of its true value by late 2024.
The focus now is shifting towards using AI as an accelerant for human workflows rather than a complete replacement, emphasizing the importance of human insight and understanding.
The future of AI lies in tools that generate understanding and better questions, moving away from the sheer generation of content towards deeper work and meaningful outcomes.
The period following the AI hype cycle is seen as a necessary purge where the focus is on useful innovation rather than loud proclamations, paving the way for the emergence of impactful players in the field.
