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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

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.

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?

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.

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