๐งต Did AI kill all interest in quantum computing?

I don't hear about it much anymore.

Public interest for the sake of "I fucking love science"? Yeah, AI is the new kid on the block in that regard. Quantum computing has no real flare other than it sounding sci-fi. No immediate and practical applications for your every day joe, unlike ChatGPT.
Big companies are still going after quantum computing for specific use cases, though. NVidia is the most prominent example.

quantum computers don't exist. entanglement is fake.

AI has already run out of steam and it no longer a big thing anon, this isn't 2023 anymore no one actually cares these days.

Scientists and engineers stop giving a fuck as long as the machine works. It doesn't matter to them if it invokes magic, as long as a useful number gets spit out the other end.

Turns out it was all a big scam

As far as I'm aware there's two basic reasons for this:
1) quantum computers are expensive, fragile and difficult to maintain. As a result they pretty much only exist in very limited research capacities in very well controlled labs.
2) they aren't actually that good at many basic computational tasks. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the solution to some NP hard problems, but also requires a very different approach to algorithm design which will require huge efforts into re-inventing the wheel that nobody wants to do.
