The Drugs Are Taking Hold

In The Selling Of AI I compared the market strategy behind the AI bubble to the drug-dealer's algorithm, "the first one's free". As the drugs take hold of an addict, three things happen:
  • Their price rises.
  • The addict needs bigger doses for the same effect.
  • Their deleterious effects kick in.
As expected, this what is happening to AI. Follow me below the fold for the details.
