When the investment money stops flowing, that will be when you see AI disappear.
My company is in the middle of rolling out Microsoft Copilot or what ever it's called. Here is the thing, CoPilot comes with Office and the company just spent a ton of cash on next year's Office licenses. MS sold the people writing the checks that Copilot comes with Office and a project was created to specifically roll it out.
Fast forward another year, there will be polls of the employees how useful Copilot was in the past year... The employees will give their feedback. Then next year's negotiations of Office licenses will include a discount for "removing" Copilot. As it's not needed or even useful.
Then AI will disappear from our daily lives.
I'm guessing in a year, but honestly I think it might take up to 5 years as the money flowing into AI right now is insane and enough to keep it propped up for quite some time. I just hope it's no more than another year.
