Artificial Intelligence isn’t new, but the world’s obsession with it certainly is. Over the past two years, we’ve seen AI move from quiet research labs to every LinkedIn headline and startup pitch deck. Billions of dollars have poured into “AI-powered” tools, most of which look suspiciously identical, and every brand now claims to be “redefining” the future.
But like every tech gold rush, there comes a moment when excitement starts to look a lot like exhaustion. That’s where we are now, the tipping point between hype and reality.
Disclaimer
This isn’t an “AI is over” story. Far from it.
AI isn’t collapsing, it’s maturing. What’s bursting is the illusion that AI alone can solve complex business problems or replace human intelligence.
The thoughts below are based on current trends, data, and real observations from working closely with organizations navigating this transformation, not speculative tech panic.
The Hype Curve Is Crashing (And That’s Okay)
