The latest thing Martin Weller is admitting he was wrong about is artificial intelligence. But for good reasons: "I was," he writes, "largely dismissive of it, partly because I was grounded in symbolic AI (expert systems and the like), and had not really monitored the rise of large, language models and generative AI." But of course, "in 2024, we can't deny it's a thing." Still, he writes, "I think the impact of AI is wildly exaggerated and we're probably heading for a bubble burst for all those companies investing heavily in it."
