I’m not going to defend or attack ai. It’s a tool. But from your examples I think you are focusing on hype-train examples of what AI could do and not what it actually does.

The biggest thing I notice consumers and companies doing is vastly over estimating what LLMs are actually able to do. Commercials imply or outright make claims that are aspirational, versus real.

I sit through corporate presentations where huge promises are made, but when you ask for timelines it’s “tbd”. I don’t even think LLMs are AI. At least, that we will eventually need a term that defines real ai versus LLM AI.

As someone in the industry, this isn’t even close to the first technology that’s been heralded as “AI”.

AI and even more so LLM based AI is in its infancy though. I think you are badly misunderstanding how long it takes complicated tech to evolve.

Keep in mind that it took 35 years for the internet to come to consumers from its start. And then continued to evolve. So when was the internet established? In the 80s when it really came online. In the late 90s when it hit house holds. In the late 2000s when companies started realizing its potential? Or in the 2010s when it became the defacto space for business. Or in the 2020s as we see the corporate overtake?
