Linus Torvalds Criticizes AI Industry as Overhyped

The Linux creator argues that AI is mostly marketing-driven and predicts significant changes in the next five years.

Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, expressed skepticism about the current state of AI, labeling it as '90% marketing and 10% reality.'
During the Open Source Summit in Vienna, Torvalds shared his view that the tech industry is overly focused on AI hype rather than practical applications.
He believes AI has the potential to change the world but chooses to ignore it for now due to the excessive hype cycle.
Torvalds predicts that in five years, AI will become more useful, and its real applications will become clearer.
Despite his criticism, Torvalds acknowledges that AI technologies like ChatGPT are already being used in areas such as graphic design.
