Gartner hype cycle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle

... he Gartner hype cycle is a graphical presentation to represent the maturity, adoption, and social application of specific technologies.

The hype cycle's veracity has been largely disputed, with studies pointing to it being inconsistently true at best.

History

The hype cycle framework was introduced in 1995 by Gartner analyst Jackie Fenn, who had joined the firm the year before.[1] In her research reports, Fenn identified common patterns related to the maturity of emerging technologies.[2]

Fenn referred to this familiar progression as a "hype cycle" and created a graph depicting its ups and downs with each distinct stage given a title, starting with Technology trigger and ending with Plateau of productivity.[3]

The chart was included in a one-off research report, but it was popular with other Gartner analysts and clients and the "Hype Cycle of Emerging Technologies" was soon developed into an annual report.[2] ...

imo, we are now in the area of "Peak of Inflated Expectations" and moving downward, regarding AI nowadays.

... and I notice (looking at the log files) this evening that the OpenAI bot (a.k.a., "openai.com/gptbot" in the web server logs) seems to be getting a lot more aggressive of late. Many more scans than before.

But I will say, that the OpenAI bot still seems to be obeying the instructions I have in robots.txt.

Unlike other AI bots I've seen.

Some early Pink Floyd, back when they did a lot of movie soundtrack work.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1]
The path you tread is narrow
And the drop is sheer and very high
The ravens all are watching
From a vantage point nearby
Apprehension creeping like a tube train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end?
Will the final couplet rhyme?

[Chorus]
And it's high time, cymbaline
It's high time, cymbaline
Please, wake me

[Verse 2]
A butterfly with broken wings
Is falling by your side
The ravens all are closing in
There's nowhere you can hide
Your manager and agent
Are both busy on the phone
Selling coloured photographs
To magazines back home

[Chorus]
And it's high time, cymbaline
It's high time, cymbaline
Please, wake me

[Verse 3]
The lines converging where you stand
They must have moved the picture plane
The leaves are heavy around your feet
You hear the thunder of the train
Suddenly, it strikes you
That they're moving into range
And Doctor Strange
Is always changing sides
