#AI means a lot of different things; you could argue that the autocorrect that has been in Microsoft word for 10 years is "AI"
Given that broad definition, it is possible that in 10 years AI will in fact be a US $100 billion/yr industry, although that "AI" may not look at all like LLM
or maybe AI will be a nothingburger
but if AI is $100Bn/yr, will even one of the hundreds of people who have sarcastically dismissed AI as worthless hype BS, will even one of those people apologize ???
