People keep comparing AI to the likes of NFTs, the blockchain, and 3D printers. All of those were over-promised niche products but AI has already proven its worth.
They were all about what they could do, but AI is already doing it.

I absolutely do not believe that AI has proven itself to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars that has been poured into it

I very sadly don't see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Reason they're willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they're being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.
If anything survives it will be the deepening of the attitude that copying or imitating anything is "stealing".

AI is here to stay but I can't wait to see it get past the point where every app has to have their own AI shoehorned in regardless of what the app is. Sick of it.

VR and AR will get a second run once the UX is improved and power to run it becomes small and cheap enough. Quantum computing is around the corner.

These are amazing years to take notes on who is saying "this will disappear" or "this will be the future" and making sure to stop listening those who assured something as certain and that did not end up happening.
NFTs where mostly useless
Some AI tools are very useful
