Come on now, next you’ll be saying the tech industry consistently overplays its incremental improvements as Earth-shattering paradigm shifts purely for the investment money!

Yup. As someone who works in tech, I was baffled by the number of people in my field who started freaking out about it. AI isn't some magic panacea, it's just another tool that needs to be designed for the task at hand. It's cool that ChatGPT can get 80% of the way there in so many fields, but that last 20% is where all the hard work is (see the pareto principle).
