What’s trending right now that you think will die in 3 to 5 years?

They are pitching that you can replace all schoolteachers with AI. As if a classroom full of kids is going to quietly shuffle in and sit down at a computer to be intellectually challenged without adults present.

It almost works, but not quite. The sellers of the tech think it will eventually work, and that may be true but they are burning a a lot of goodwill and potential customers on the way. Some AI tech will survive, but it will be rebranded and just the stuff that proves actually useful or productivity enhancing.

Every previous wave of AI died in the same hype/disappointment cycle. Yes each previous wave still has niche uses, but their economic activity is basically a rounding error.

They're dead.

The bodies are just still twitching a little from the chemical reactions of deccomposition.

The current wave will do the same thing.
