I'm still waiting for all these remarkable achievements produced with this new technology to provide tangible value to the world. Surely we should be seeing groundbreaking products and innovations in all industries by now, improving the lives of millions of people.
Instead all we get is anecdata from influencers and entrepreneurs, and the technology being shoved into every brand and product. It's exhausting.
At least it seems that the tide is starting to turn. Perhaps we are at the downward slope of the Peak of Inflated Expectations.
It's quite likely that the answer to the worlds problems isn't more apps/products. AI may have arrived at a moment to bring the cost down of creating software there isn't much demand for in the first place.
Sure, that's one part of it, but this technology is also used by highly intelligent people in tech and other industries, some of whom are singing its praises. I would expect to see amazing products and innovations from them, and yet progress has largely maintained the same momentum. Am I expecting too much, too soon?
Hey, why doesn't the pricing for google workspace go DOWN if it's become so cheap to maintain it because of "AI" "agents" ?
