Grok reviews its own failed predictions: Gemini users, Cursor, AI bubble calls all wrong
venturetwins · x · 2026-10-29
The author asked Grok to summarize its biggest wrong predictions. The list includes repeated 'peak AI' claims (Feb 2024–Nov 2025), calling Google's 500M Gemini user target unrealistic (actual: reported 650–750M+), dismissing OpenAI revenue forecasts as 'financial crime' (near-term figures met), Cursor being implausible at $10B (reported $60B exit), CoreWeave dying within six months (IPO'd above offer price), an AI bubble popping 'no later than Q2 2026' (didn't happen), plus misses on DeepSeek commoditization, Anthropic revenue, and Meta's decline.
