AI as we know it does have its uses, but I would definitely agree that 90% of it is just marketing hype

You just haven't tried OpeningAI's latest orione model. A company employee said it is soooo smart, can you believe it? And the government is like, goddamn we are so scareded of it. Im telling you AGI december 2024, you'll will see!

Edit:

Is it so hard for people to see sarcasm?

Year of the Linux Deskto....oh wait wrong thread, same same though. If we just wait one more year, we'll have FULL FSD!

Next year, I promise, is the year we all switch to crypto, just wait!

In just two years, no one will be driving 4,000lb cars anymore, everyone just needs a Segway.

We're going to have "just walk out" grocery stores in two years, where you pick items off the shelf, and ~~10,000 outsourced Indians will review your purchase and complete your CC transaction in about a half hour.~~ our awesome technology will handle everything, charging you for your groceries as you leave the store, in just two more years!
