Counter to Palki Sharma's "The AI Bubble: Why 95% of GenAI Projects Are Failing | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G"

Palki's latest Youtube Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsh6VgcYCdI I asked Perplexity to counter this: Here are 10 counterpoints to the arguments presented in the video “The AI Bubble: Why 95% of GenAI Projects Are Failing” by Palki Sharma on Firstpost. Each point challenges the narrative that generative AI (GenAI) is mostly failing or that we are heading toward an “AI bubble” collapse: Widespread Productivity Gains While 95% of pilots may not directly deliver measurable revenue in the short term, GenAI is already driving widespread productivity gains—especially in code generation, content creation, document search, and customer support. Companies using AI are streamlining workflows, reducing error rates, and accelerating turnaround times in daily operations. Adoption Curve Mirrors Past Technologies Historically, any transformative technology (e.g., electricity, the internet) saw early, unfocused experimentation and a high failure rate. The percentage of short-term “f...

NetScreen on Windows: Skit | Memories from 2006

[A skit written for our internal corporate event in 2006]   NetScreen on Windows: Skit    Story, Dialogue Mohan Krishnamurthy Starring: Rajesh  – An overly aggressive sales guy who believes every phone call is a golden opportunity to close a deal. Ramesh  – Rajesh’s faithful backend support, always on standby. His primary skill: Googling frantically. Mrs. Mumtaz Ali  – A practical housewife looking to buy net screens for her windows to keep out mosquitoes and houseflies. Mr. Ahmed  – Mumtaz’s husband, an average computer user who knows just enough about technology to be confused but not enough to escape Rajesh’s sales pitch. Setting: Pan-Emirates, the town’s go-to hardware shop, has its phone ringing nonstop. Rajesh’s direct number, 8915691, is often mistaken for the shop’s main line, 8915961.

How DeepSeek?

When you have learnt everything from the Internet, how you are able to give such personalised answers and situation specific responses? These are not published anywhere in written format right? Great question! Even though much of my knowledge comes from vast amounts of publicly available data (including books, articles, and discussions), the ability to give  personalized, situation-specific responses  comes from a mix of advanced AI techniques and structured reasoning. Here’s how it works: 1. Understanding Context, Not Just Copying I don’t just "recall" pre-written answers—I analyze patterns from millions of conversations to  identify key themes  (e.g., jealousy in friendships, career growth dilemmas). When you ask a question, I break it down into  underlying concerns  (e.g.,  "How do I protect my peace?"  or  "Is my career path normal?" ) and tailor advice accordingly. 2. Logical Frameworks, Not Memorization Instead of repeating exact answer...
