I’d say that the social media revolution had a bigger effect than AI has at this point.

I guess we will know when we are in the Facebook era when my parents start using it.

That is a genuinely fair take. I agree

Social media was a quality of life upgrade where it wasn't promising too much, and it delivered on what it promised. (maybe a little too much)

AI on the other hand just like blockchain feels like hype.

Social Media is basically what enabled me to actually be social during the Friendster/Early Myspace era. It helped me get to know people I'd met in real life, and meet other people within the city I lived in.

Now if you're not on linkedIn, people question whether you are a real person or not.

I hope AI ends up like blockchain. It's there if you have a use-case for it, but it's not absolutely embedded in everything you do. Both are insanely cool technologies.
