Every negative headline I see about AI hitting a wall or being over-hyped makes me think of the early 2000's with that new thing the 'internet' (yes, I know the internet is a lot older than that). There is little doubt in my mind that ten years from now nearly every aspect of life will be deeply connected to AI just like the internet took over everything in the late 90's and early 2000's and is now deeply connected to everything now. I'd even hazard to say that AI could be more impactful.

AI can be thought of as the 2nd stage of the creature that we call the Internet. The 1st stage, that we are so familiar with, is about gathering knowledge into a giant and somewhat organized library. This library has books on every subject imaginable, but its scale is so vast that no living human today can grasp it. This is why the originally connected network has started falling apart. Once this I becomes AI, all the books in the library will be melted together into one coherent picture. Once again, anyone anywhere on Earth will be able to access all the knowledge and our Babylon will stay for a little longer.
