Whenever a new hype is going around I like to think back about the 3D printing craze and how little is left of all the glorious promises.
They are cool and a neat way of manufacturing things, but what they are absolutely not is magic machines.
AI/ML will find it's niche and will allow for new and even exciting things, but it won't be the end-all-be-all in it's current form. It's an overgrown version of statistics after all.
Not sure what the promises were that you in particular heard. But 3D printing is a fundamental part of prototyping now. The vast majority of companies designing physical products have 3D printers to try out new ideas.
Yeah, 3D printers are everywhere. Both as a business and as a hobby, it's bigger than it has ever been.
ML/AI was already used heavily before LLMs came about.
