Another Futurists Predicts AI Will Make Us Richer, Like We Haven’t Heard That Before

David ‘Nostradamus’ Shrier’s Grand AI Predictions

As if we haven’t had enough of ‘experts’ saying AI will make it rain money for businesses, here comes David Shrier. Ol’ Dave held a cozy fireside chat at an AI event in San Francisco, where he warmed us up with his glowing predictions, typically of the 10x enterprise growth variety. Yes, another person with all the imagination of a brick, saying AI is going to be our economic savior.

Exciting, terrifying, or just plain boring?

The implications of Shrier’s prophesying are about as exciting as stale bread. Yes, of course AI has potential to provide growth, but it’s not as if he’s breaking new ground here. His predictions come with the usual cautionary tales of AI turning on us, because that hasn’t been drummed into our heads a trillion times before. What a bore.

Our Hot take: Yawn

To conclude, we have yet another AI know-it-all offering up the same lackluster platitudes we’ve heard a million times before. Shrier claims AI will create 10x enterprise growth, which is about as groundbreaking as saying the sky is blue. Congrats on stating the blazingly obvious, Dave! His attempts to balance this with some fearmongering about rogue AI just underlines the tedium of his insights. Can we get some original thinking, please?
