The true power of #genAI is not technological, but rhetorical: almost all conversations about it are about what executives are saying it will do "one day" or "soon" rather than what we actually see (and of course no mention of business model which doesn't exist).
We are told to simultaneously believe AI is so "early days" as to excuse any lack of real usefulness, and that it is so established - even "too big to fail" - that we are not permitted to imagine a future without it.
@PavelASamsonov Yeah, it's all potential which feels like hedging for a future that might not come (and most likely will not). Much like the blockchain before it, that's just what they were told by the con artists selling them on this snakeoil and have no actual knowledge about how it works. All they saw was a miracle money generator machine, ethereal and unexplainable but definitely the future... eventually. This will fail and we will be the ones picking up the pieces, not them.
