Yes, and this is completely normal. Not sure I get the point of his post. Most likely, stating the obvious is what you gotto do to keep your followers "engaged".

The average person does not have the time to occupy themselves with a new thing to see what it can maybe do for them if they combine it with hundreds of others. Until non-chat-bot AI comes in discrete usable packages, mass adoption will be limited, because it's all just a big bunch of lego pieces whose utility is hard to grasp, because it isn't self-evident.

This isn't new, though. It's how "technology" usually works. For example, human(oid)s have been able to stick sticks into things for ~500k years, but the fork wasn't "invented" until ~2-4k years ago.

AI is a background technology, a building block. Something that is best appreciated when you don't know it's there -- when it just does a job (well). The end-in-itself POV of the tech industry is self-indulgent and irrelevant for the average person.
