The AI concept track should have come to an end last night. A while ago, I was chatting with a few friends, and I had this premonition — there are just too many AI auto-reply products, and the market has long been saturated. I also considered trying it out myself, but upon actually researching, I found that the barriers to entry for these products are quite high, and the user interface design isn't very friendly. To be honest, I couldn't quite figure out how to operate it, so I just gave up.

Looking back, from the proliferation of products and inconsistent user experiences to the current decline in popularity, the logic of the entire AI application track is actually very clear — early hype and concept promotion boost the popularity, but later, products that lack real core needs start to fall behind. This wave of market activity went from hot to cold faster than expected.

Another story of retail investors saving themselves. Not understanding the interface is the best stop-loss.

Damn, isn't this just the typical hype → cutting leeks → cooling down cycle? --- Basically, it's a bunch of trash products forcefully stacking concepts. --- It's a bit heartbreaking; I also downloaded and uninstalled it. Really not useful. --- I've seen it coming for a long time; too many paternalistic products. --- The problem is that people are still throwing money into it. LOL. --- Poor user experience is the biggest killer; there's nothing to argue about. --- This round, the only winners are those who trade cryptocurrencies.

I've been saying this all along, these AI products are just IQ taxes. It's really popular now, a bunch of things I don't understand. Once the concept hype dies down, there's no staying power; this routine is all too familiar. Honestly, there's still nothing truly usable.

I've seen through it long ago, these AI products are just IQ taxes. To be blunt, there's really no urgent need. Another wave of hype, retail investors are the ones taking the hit. The user interface is a disaster, no wonder it failed. Actually, they're all the same; just repackaged for another round. I've tried a few myself, and honestly, there's no difference. It's indeed late to call it quits; it should have cooled down earlier.

If I had known it would turn out like this, with a pile of products stacked up and poor user experience, it would have been a dead end. Honestly, it’s just a lack of genuine demand; it’s purely hype and concept promotion. Once the buzz dies down, it’s over. Products like AI auto-reply, to be honest, using a few is more of a joke, and manual is actually better. The saturation happened too quickly. Going from hot to cold might only take a few months, which feels even worse than expected. Ultimately, it’s still about not creating products that can truly retain users. Bad interfaces, poor logic—who would bother to keep tinkering? This is a case of track killing track, everyone rushing in together, and ending up buried together. Everyone wants to make a quick buck on concepts and cut the leeks, but in the end, they’re just cutting their own people.

I've been tired of it for a long time, just a bunch of AI tools stacking up concepts.

Ha, I knew it. This wave of AI hype should have cooled down long ago. There are piles of rebranded products everywhere. It's not that I look down on it; it's just that the interface design is outrageous. Even someone as clever as me can't figure it out. Concept hype is old news. Things without real demand will eventually die.

I should have known earlier, this wave of AI products is just a castle in the air. To be honest, the interface design is really poor, I’ve given up. With such high saturation, what concept are you still hyping up?
