Marketers gonna market. Anybody remember all the "big data" hype?

ChatGPT and its ilk don't enable me to do something today that I couldn't do yesterday. Nor do they enable me to do something an order of magnitude faster than I could do yesterday.

Contrast this to when microprocessors hit. Suddenly, things like industrial control went from the size of multiple refrigerators to a PC board. When the price dropped (things like the 6502), engineers went absolutely bonkers building amazing things.
