Is the current AI boom another tech bubble waiting to burst? In this episode of "Joy of Building Things," Madhav Shankar takes a critical look at the promises and pitfalls of generative AI. We explore the frustrating and sometimes bizarre flaws in AI-powered coding, image, and video generation that users are encountering daily. From "hallucinating" code to the unsettling world of the uncanny valley, we delve into how these imperfections are shaping our perception and trust in AI. The episode also examines our collective human reaction—the mix of awe, anxiety, and confusion—to a world increasingly filled with synthetic content. Finally, we look ahead, discussing the necessary evolution from flawed novelty to truly helpful tool and what it will take to build a future where human and artificial intelligence collaborate meaningfully
