The idea of AI being "overhyped" is just hilarious to me, because the truth is actually the opposite. I think the average person, who maybe only interacts with some language model/chatbot every now and again has no clue how close we're actually getting to AI fundamentally altering everyday life for most people. The things you can already do with AI Agents right now is super impressive, and the technology is only going to keep getting exponentially better with the amount of investment that's being poured into it now. Like we've only just barely tapped into the realm of the truly complex. A decade from now, almost every business on earth will be heavily reliant on AI in some way shape or form, or that business will be dead. And that's completely separate and apart from whether we see a true AGI. Maybe we get there in our lifetime, maybe we don't, but that's not even necessary. We're going to have so many specialized AI that are so much better than people at the tasks/jobs they're trained in. It's inevitable at this point, whether we like it or not.
