I get it – the skepticism is real. Everyone's probably thinking: "Here we go again, another batch of AI shilling, packaging vaporware as the next big thing?"

Fair point. But here's what's different this cycle: it's not just some mediocre chatbot spamming Twitter while people hype it as the revolution.

Yeah, could it all crash to zero? Absolutely. That's still on the table. The thing is, unlike the last hype wave, there's actually product being shipped. Real development, tangible outputs, actual creation happening. That's the shift worth paying attention to.

NGL, this time it's really different. You can tell they're actually working on something instead of just bragging.

Alright, this time is indeed different. In previous rounds, it was all about hype, but now there's actually something happening. It could still crash, but at least it's not just air anymore.

This time it's truly different; real work is being done, not just empty talk.

ngl this time it's really different; having a tangible product implementation is definitely better than just talking big.

Can product implementation be compared to PPT fundraising? That's the real difference. Last cycle was all talk, but this time at least we see real output— but don't celebrate too early, only those who survive and make it out on the battlefield are the true winners.
