Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated::undefined
AI doesn’t necessarily mean human-level intelligence, if that’s what you mean. The AI field has wrestled with this for decades. There can be “strong AI”, which is aiming for that human-level intelligence, but that’s probably a far off goal. The “weak AI” is about pushing the boundaries of what computers can do, and that stuff has been massively useful even before we talk about the more modern stuff.
Sounds like people here are expecting to see GPAI and singularity stuff, but all they see is a pitiful LLM or other even more narrow AI applications. Remember, even optical character recognition (OCR) used to be called AI until it became so common that it wasn’t exciting any more. What AI developers call AI today, is just basic automation and few decades later.
