Slightly overrated is where I would put it, absolutely. It’s overhyped, but god if the recent advancements aren’t impressive.

Which is fair. AI at work is great but it only does fairly simple things. Nothing i can’t do myself but saves my sanity and time.
It’s all i want from it and it delivers.

Helps me write hacky scripts to solve one off problems. Honestly, it saves me a few work days.
But it’s far from replacing anybody.

You say it’s “far” but 70 years ago a simple calculator was the size of a house. The power of my desktop from 10 years ago is beat by my phone, hell maybe even my watch.
You know, you code, compute is improving rapidly, and even when it slows vertical scaling, it’s still horizontally scaling. All the while software is getting more efficient, developing new capabilities and techniques which only bring on even more innovation.
It compounds. At this point I think the only limiting factor is how much faith the rich and powerful put in AI’s ability to make them richer. The more they invest, the faster it’ll grow.
