A lot of the hype is very short-term and unrealistic, such as AGI. On the other hand it's easy to underestimate the impact in a million mundane things.


On top of this, I'd add also: for me personally, the writing is on the walls for many things (like AGI) - now the tech is clear and people can vision out timelines on things, it becomes grating to hear about every tiny incremental update.


How is the tech clear for AGI?


I think you should read that something like, "now that it's clear what the tech does - and it's not AGI".


Yeah, poorly worded on my part, we don't even all agree on what AGI even is let alone when we'll have it or what it will be, but there is no harm in focusing on the super super good auto-complete we now have.
