AI hype feels like the voice assistant craze—exciting, then quickly forgotten.

We’ve seen this before—hype cycles come fast, but reality always catches up. AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek feel groundbreaking at first, but then what? They become novelties. Like Siri and Alexa, they’re fun to mess around with, but they don’t change much. Companies keep throwing money at AI like it’s the future, but when the returns don’t materialize, the bubble bursts. Just watch—DeepSeek’s hype will vanish just like all the others. If AI were a stock, early adopters cashed out, and latecomers hold the bag.
