In referring to AI Mania and the disdain people got discovering genAI is still disappointingly a long way off. It wasn’t a leaps and bounds thing, just LLMs bringing the attention back on like there was a breakthrough, though the pace of the tech has not changed.

Expect a resurgence in a few more years once the world is done with betas and thing improve at the same old rate. I think the best we got coming up is genAI assisting the increase of speed toward actual AI as a whole. Reliable generative iterations would be really helpful, but we’re obviously not there yet and likely not for a little while more.

In the meantime, the global open betas not advertised as such have done their job, but have left a foul taste in mouths.
