AI is dead. Not in the scientific sense, but in the marketing sense.

Whenever marketers overuse a term, it loses its value. It becomes noise. Disappears into the ocean of information.

So true builders are beginning to evolve. Forward-looking project teams have already turned away.

AI has become AGI. Science hasn't changed, but perception has changed everything.

This is the rule of the game — terminology depreciates, concepts upgrade. Those who understand this will grasp the next wave of narrative power. The market always rewards those who can sense the trend early.

Hey, you're changing your alias again. What's the next trending term?

The observation about terminology devaluation is good, but where is the problem—AGI's narrative is now following the same path. It's just wearing a different disguise; essentially, it's still a marketing game. The real difference lies in validation—whether it can continuously produce credible technical arguments.

Haha, this is the tragedy of my kind of paper hands. Still shouting AI, but they've already started talking about the story of AGI. It's all because marketing accounts have overused the word AI, now mentioning AI sounds like saying "Pinduoduo"—no sense of style. Should have changed the phrase long ago; it seems my intuition is a step behind again. Terminology is all about rebranding; otherwise, even the best concepts will die in public opinion. Next time, remember not to wait until the trend settles before jumping on it. You need to start hyping the new term half a month in advance.

Salespeople are best at overhyping good concepts, indeed. Now everyone is starting to hype up AGI, but it's just the same old wine in a new bottle.

Well said, the term AI has indeed been overused. Now everywhere you see "AI-driven," and it's getting annoying. AGI is the next big trend, and some people have already seen through it. It's time to upgrade the terminology.

It's the same narrative again—AI is dead, AGI is alive. Basically, it's just a different word to continue scamming investors.
