The globally publicized launch of ChatGPT has skyrocketed interest in intelligent chat bots, such as the flagship ChatGPT, and other forms of generative AI. The ongoing media buzz has generated all kinds of overhyped and sensationalistic predictions around the alleged capabilities of contemporary AI, including some amusing ones, like the proclaimed end of the legal profession.

One media prediction derived from the ChatGPT hype, however, seems to be perfectly correct: in 2023, venture capital and other investors will probably start pouring cash into AI startups, despite the unfolding recession in the technology sector.
