Genai Debuts Atop Gartner's 2023 Hype Cycle
datanami, Thursday, August 24,2023
Gartner released the 2023 version of its hype curve for emerging technology yesterday, and as expected, generative AI was given the most prominent seat, right at the peak of inflated expectations. But does GenAI have the legs to take itself into the techno promised land?
The wave of GenAI hype triggered by the release of ChatGPT nine months ago has been like nothing the IT world has seen, at least for a while. Many called it AI's 'iPhone moment,' while others compared it to the creation of the Internet itself.
The surge of activity in large language models (LLMs) was unprecedented, as vendors rushed out new chat interfaces for existing products, and new GenAI vendors popped up like mushrooms after a rain. It's dominated coverage here at Datanami for months.
