Got generative AI FOMO? Keep calm and carry on

AI-powered self-driving cars got kicked to the curb, with the shuttering of Argo AI. Big Tech had a tough time, with earnings wipeouts for Amazon, Microsoft and Google. And Meta's big bet on the metaverse has the company in free fall, at least for now. However, none of that negative-nellie news seems to stop the FOMO – the fear of missing out – at least in the world of AI. This time the hyped-up anxiety is not about autonomous cars (the "not" in the Hot or Not), but generative AI – a suddenly-sexy sector described with words like "miraculous," "transformative" and "a coming-out party" [subscription required].
