AI is and will likely in the future be very useful and technologically significant. But I am not convinced it is anywhere near the world changing levels companies like OpenAI (ClosedAI) or microsoft make it out to be. Gen AI will become a useful but largely mundane tool that people will use to help themselves be a little more productive in the future. Think how face detection helps you take better portraits rather than replace the need to take a photograph.
The current problem is that all the excitement is around AI being able to completely revolutionise work and replace workers. Money and effort is being poured into that goal; however, those investing are going to rapidly find out that we don’t know how to create a tool that does that yet and, we are likely a very long way from finding out how.
