A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful (feddit.it)

It was always clear that VR, 3D, blockchain were fads. But AI is already useful as is. The hype may not be as high in the future but AI is here to stay.

VR is also around, it's possibly the most popular it's ever been. It's still a small niche compared to its initial promise.

Linux on desktop is more popular than VR...

By the news I'm seeing about windows and its new features that is bloated and restricting its users. That day is not long before its the year of linux desktop.

You sound like every Linux user for the last 30 years.

Almost all my colleagues are using genAI every day, I don't know anyone using VR regularly.

I strongly disagree. 3D, VR and blockchain have limited use. They were just extremely overhyped. It's the exact same now with AI. It has uses, yes, but you don't need it in your toothbrush.

But how will we provide an enhanced, metaverse 3D AR blockchain-backed cavity reduction without an LLM?
