Is the AI Boom Peaking or Plateauing?

After much hype, GPT-5 delivered modest improvements — prompting reflection on whether the AI boom could be slowing.

GPT-5’s launch, though expected to be groundbreaking, yielded incremental gains — leading critics to question continued exponential AI growth.

Diminishing Returns in Scaling

Experts argue that generative AI is hitting limits due to deeper constraints in computing power, data saturation, and model architecture scalability.

Some analysts warn of an emerging bubble, reminiscent of past tech cycles, as industry enthusiasm outpaces tangible innovation.

The industry may need to shift focus from chasing AGI fantasies to building reliable infrastructure and domain-centric AI applications.
