Is Generative AI a Bubble?
Over the past couple of years, AI has been an incredibly quickly adopted technology, earning untold billions of dollars in investments while driving news cycles on everything from government regulation to college cheating scandals. Now, agentic AI, the next evolution of the chatbot, is getting tech executives everywhere excited about savings potential.
However, part of the downside of that speedy rollout is that we have yet to see AI tools fully deliver on the many promises that have helped spur the rapid adoption. Now, large-scale studies like the National Bureau of Economic Research are emerging, and indicating that AI chatbots cannot live up to the hype.
Perhaps agentic AI will prove to offer a far greater value than chatbots. Until then, though, we may want to keep 100% of our human staffers around.
