Lately, I've been scrolling through product hunt and I notice a bunch of recycled ideas. Sales AI, Email AI, AI Website creator, a revolutionary product management tool, and don't even get me started on the chatbots. All ideas we've seen before. Is this the death of innovation? I remember when this place used to be a launchpad for some of the most groundbreaking products and ideas but recently I've been getting a sense of d j vu. It feels like we're seeing different versions of the same concept, repackaged with a new UI and a catchy name. Are we playing it too safe, sticking to tried-and-tested formulas instead of building hard shit? What are your thoughts? Are we in an innovation lull, or am I just being nostalgic?

Human Generator is live: https://www.producthunt.com/post... In one word, I feel anxiouscited (excitement + nervousness). What about you?

Let's address the elephant in the room. Every day, as I scroll through the latest products on Product Hunt, I notice a recurring theme and I know you do too: AI. From chatbots to content generators, AI-driven analytics to automated marketing & sales agents, it seems like every other product boasts AI capabilities. Some deliberately add AI to anything. Are we in the midst of an AI overload? Don't get me wrong; the advancements in AI are nothing short of revolutionary. The potential to automate tasks, gain insights, and even mimic human-like interactions is genuinely groundbreaking. But to the extent of full-on autonomous AI agents completing end-to-end tasks, we are at least 3 years away. But with the influx of AI-tagged products, I fear we are diluting the true essence of what AI can offer in the future. Or worse, we are setting unrealistic expectations for users who might be expecting too much from the "AI" label. Just because a product calls https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/c... doesn't mean it's going to solve all the world's problems. Expect janky, frail initial execution. That's the price you pay as an early adopter. But also think of future capabilities. By overhyping AI capabilities now we are setting it up for failure in the future, similar to the story of the boy who cried wolf. Let's have an open discussion about the AI landscape here. Are we genuinely witnessing a transformative era, or are we getting caught up in the AI hype?
