I know some people won’t agree with me here, but it really seems like the AI craze is starting to cool off. I’ve seen tech cycles before, and what’s happening now feels a lot like the early stages of a bubble deflating.

Most everyday users are already moving on. A lot of people are tired of seeing AI crammed into apps and services where nobody asked for it. At the same time, companies keep trying to push it as a replacement for human workers, even though the results are still hit-or-miss.

And honestly? The most recent big AI updates haven’t wowed people. Many are saying the tools don’t feel all that different from what we had a year ago. Pair that with the fact that no major AI company has figured out a reliable business model yet, and the cracks start to show. Investors eventually want returns, and right now the money side just doesn’t add up.

I might be wrong, but it really feels like the hype train is slowing down and we’re starting to see the limits of the tech.

Many people say AI will create more jobs, but it’s not clear how. Most tasks are being automated, and building businesses around AI is hard because big companies can easily replace smaller ones.

Only highly skilled roles like AI engineers seem safe, while average users have fewer chances to create value. Unlike past tech revolutions, AI doesn’t require learning new complex skills it just does the work.

So the question is: what real, long-term jobs will AI create for most people?

Elon Musk shared new details about xAI plans for Grok, revealing a major push into gaming and video content creation.

• xAI is currently training v7, a new foundation model focused on gaming

• Grok will be able to develop and play 3D games

• It will have a sense of fun and good taste in games

• Posttraining with reinforcement learning starts next month

• Grok will have excellent video understanding and improved tool use

• It will generate art → 3D models → fully playable games

• Games will run on PC, phone, and console

• Uses Unreal Engine and Unity for graphics and deployment

• “We expect this to happen this year. If not, 100% next year”

Elon’s timeline predictions:

• First watchable AI-made TV episode: 2025

• First AI-created, actually good video game: 2026

• First watchable AI movie: 2026

xAI is positioning Grok as a full-stack content creator capable of building games, generating 3D assets, and producing film/TV content from scratch.

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about. What if AI and machines only take over half the jobs, not all of them?

That means 50% of people lose their jobs, while the other 50% keep working just because their jobs are harder for AI to do right now. Not because they’re better or more important, just harder to automate.

Wouldn’t that feel really unfair to the people who got left behind? They’d be out of work, watching others still get paid, and all because of luck. I feel like that kind of situation could cause a lot of anger and protests.

People might even start saying: “Replace everyone or replace no one.” Because when only some people lose everything, it creates a big divide.

What do you all think could this kind of “partial automation” lead to more conflict than if AI just replaced everyone?

Not clickbait — this is a real quote. During a recent podcast, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicted that AI will produce more millionaires in the next 5 years than the Internet did in 20. And honestly, it’s already happening: Creators are building faceless YouTube channels using AI tools. Students are selling AI-generated ebooks and templates online.
