Apple not hopping on the AI hype train might actually turn out to be an advantage when the next AI winter arrives ;)


Yes and it isn’t just a matter of in but when the bubble pops. Then everyone will be hailing apple as the strategic visionary, fun times!!!


This reminds me of the "well Blackberry doesn't need to worry. People in business will still prefer Blackberry after the smart phone hype dies down."


It all depends on if one believes whether the current one is the last AI hype cycle, or "just another" AI hype cycle. We might just be at the start of the peak of the current hype cycle, or maybe we're already slightly over it without knowing it yet... which would mean that in around 10 years we might know whether there will be another AI winter or not.

Until then I'll be happy to wait-and-see and use LLMs as a glorified StackOverflow / search-engine replacement - at least as long as they're still free to use, and it doesn't take too long to get an answer back ;)
