Haha. You're 100% correct in the AGI/AI thing. I'm just sick and tired of every article being about AI, it's great people but we can't stop innovating and attending to other areas of technology.

>You can do a lot with glorified prediction systems that require human prompting >People don't need a machine that wonders the same stuff they do; they need something that does a specific task in lieu of their own effort.

This is the problem with our current revision with AI; the way I see it those two are in conflict with each other. In lieu of their own effort, the way a vast amount of the would be users think, is "without promoting" which would lend towards AGI than AI.

>Actually, they are arguably more valuable than AGI because you can more easily communicate and utilize their value proposition.

To you and I this might be true, but to your average non-techie I don't think it's quite as true as you would like it to be.

Short term it is very true, everyone sees the value until you realize it's inherit limitations and the 'shiny, wears off

You're saying it like this is first time AI changes its meaning in marketing. People used to market "smart cycle" in dishwashers as AI.

In the dishwasher's defense it is pretty smart compared to an LLM.
