Do you really have to ask? This AI merry-go-round has been spinning for decades now. I can't imagine people don't know the drill by now. We've all been riding this around, some of us our entire lives. The people who thought this was going to be the next big thing were just the latest fools to be fooled by this merry-go-round into thinking that AI is once again, just barely out of reach and reachable within a few years. As usual, they are proven wrong again and again because AI is so far from being useful for such tasks like having a conversation with humans. The bottom line is AI isn't there yet and probably won't be the next time the hype rolls around. Or the time after that. Or the time after that ... I should just write a loop here that likely won't break in our lifetimes or possibly anyone's.
