OpenAI’s ChatGPT “makes great demonstrations and it’s obviously being used in many areas, for graphic design and things like that, but I really hate the hype cycle.” Some $95 billion has so far been invested in AI start-ups since the start of 2023 and the big four hyperscalers have sunk $200 billion in capital expenditure, according to Informa fellow Steve Brazier, who was speaking at the Canalys Channels Forum this month.
