The past few years has seen a great rise in casuals reminding us of AIs limitations only to be proven wrong in 6 months. I don't think we're close to AGI, but in 2 years I've gone from AI doubter to AI convert. It's not perfect, but I don't need it to be.
The real question to me is if the system can pay for itself. Economics are racing against efficiency gains and it's anyone's guess which wins.
