Good thing I closed my short a while back.  Been really strong in its uptrend since then.  I guess they're a real player in "generative AI" so maybe I should go long instead?

Indeed... I see they raised guidance today. 

But I still think too many companies are hyping their AI-ness.  I saw this the other day on Twitter, which took me back to the dot-com bubble:

The hard part, of course, is timing the peak

I should add that many would define that graph as a chart crime because the two axes are different!  Nonetheless, I think the spike in AI headlines all of a sudden is questionable.  I'm also really surprised by the spike in 2001.  I guess that's when everyone was hyping their "machine learning"

I was major account manager on several of the largest scale decision-support systems sold/produced in the world based on AI in the late 1980's and early 1990's.  It is really funny that people think AI is something new.  It has been in every major decision-support application for Defense, Industrial, Enterprise, etc. for over 30 years.  The company I worked for blended adaptive neural networks, knowledge-based expert systems with some really powerful non-AI tools such as OR.

I suppose the "generative AI" is something new.  And that's what is generating (no pun intended) all the buzz and hype.

Investors.com had a long article yesterday discussing Generative AI  (https://www.investors.com/news/generative-ai-to-unleash-roaring-20s-productivity-boom-and-bull-market/)

I subscribed last year to an analytical service supposedly based on neural networks AI and claiming 85% accuracy.  I lost money over 12 months and did not renew.  To me, the claim of 'neural network' AI is equivalent to "Black Box", i.e., 'Trust me', but that's not Generative AI.

Thanks for the IBD article.  I miss my old IBD subscription...

Yeah, if someone had a AI that could make money consistently I think they'd keep it to themselves and become a trillionaire having it trade for them.
