Navigating AI Hype cartoon - Marketoonist

My cartoon last week, "AI Written, AI Read", has already become one of my more widely shared cartoons ever -- nearly a million impressions on LinkedIn alone. Generative AI is clearly on a lot of our minds right now. "I think this is going to rewrite civilization -- Buckle up." Various forms of AI have long been riding Gartner's famous Technology Hype Cycle, hitting the "Peak of Inflated Expectations" before slipping into the "Trough of Disillusionment." Eventually, the theory goes, some form of the technology rises up the "Slope of Enlightenment" to find widespread adoption in the "Plateau of Productivity."
