    AI is the new crypto. Idiots will be fleeced. Schemes will be hatched. Vaporware will vape.

    In 2-5 years there will likely be some Intel- or Google-like companies with big controlling stakes in AI. Investing in the them then will likely be a good idea. Trying to figure out now which of the 61,000 AI startups will become them, and hoping to win the lottery in the process, is a fool’s game.

    Also a non-zero chance that AI itself is all vaporware and the “industry” fizzles out completely.

      I thought you were comparing their utility as technologies and I was going to disagree, but as investment opportunities you have a good point.
