Have you considered that you getting almost angry at somebody "not seeing the light" means you might hold preconceived notions that might not hold to reality? You would not be practicing critical thinking if you are not willing to question your assumptions.

It seems your assumption is very standard: "revolution is just around the corner, how can you not see it?".

OK, let the revolution come and I'll apologize to you personally. Ping me when it happens. For real. But make sure it's an actual revolution and not "OMFG next Midjourney can produce moon-scapes!", okay?

RE: 1, cool, I heard such success stories and I like them. But I also heard about executives flunking contracts because they over-relied on ChatGPT to summarize / synthesize contract items. I am glad it's making progress but people are being people and they will rely on a 100% fault-free AI. If that's not in place yet then the usefulness drops sharply because double-checking is even more time-consuming than doing the thing by yourself in the first place.

RE: 2, your side projects are not representative of anything at all. And I for one recognize AI images from a mile away and steer clear of projects that make use of them. Smells like low-effort to me and makes me wonder if the author didn't take other, much more fatal, shortcuts (like losing my information or selling my PII). And yes I am not the only one -- before you attempt that low-effort ad hominem technique.

I was not convinced by your comment, very little facts and it mostly appeals to the future that's forever just around the corner. Surely as an engineering-minded person you see how that's not convincing?
