Lesson
The prediction was correct because MetaGPT was experiencing rapid growth in popularity due to the narrative of AI potentially displacing jobs. When a project demonstrates strong initial adoption and resonates with current trends (AI job displacement), expect continued short-term growth in metrics like GitHub stars. Continue to track popular AI projects for similar trends.
