It can't come soon enough. Expectations and hype have reached stratospheric levels and are due for a hard correction. Every company is jamming "AI" into places it isn't needed to juice their share price and please the clueless shareholders. Despite LLMs popping up everywhere there's limited evidence to support the claimed productivity boosts. Other than using GitHub Copilot I don't know a single person who seriously uses language models for work, whether it's by prompting directly or pressing a magic "AI" button that performs some RAG. I've half seriously considered the possibility a large portion of the hype has been manufactured in an attempt to shock stagnating economies back to life, post-COVID, post low interest rates.
