| AI feels like a true third revolution—something that will fundamentally change how we live, work, and interact. It's like having all content available with just a prompt—a superpower if used correctly. It feels like ages since I didn't use AI daily, but it was just months ago. Things are moving rapidly: new models, startups, and companies appear constantly. Every week there's something new about AI, and it's hard to stay updated. | ||

The sentence fragment "much like Lucent Technologies will cause issues in the system" is grammatically incomplete or unclear. It appears to be comparing AI companies' lack of profitability to Lucent Technologies, but the sentence structure is confusing. The phrase "will cause issues in the system" lacks a clear subject. This should be rewritten for clarity, perhaps as: "much like Lucent Technologies did during the dotcom bubble" or "much like how Lucent Technologies caused issues in the system."
