Yeah but I'm looking forward to the point where this is not longer about trying to be flashy and sexy, but just quietly using a new technology for useful things that it's good at. I think things are headed that direction pretty quickly now though! Which is great.
Honestly? I think the AI bubble will need to burst first. Making the rescheduling of appointments and dozens of tasks like that slightly more convenient isn't a billion-dollar business.
I don't have a lot of doubt that it is technically doable, but it's not going to be economically viable when it has to pay back hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into training models and buying shiny hardware. The industry first needs to get rid of that burden, which means writing off the training costs and running inference on heavily-discounted supernumerary hardware.
Yeah this sounds right to me.
