I think they are more than aware but will magically disappear after cashing their stock just about the point the bubble pops. Don't forget that the AI industry is almost 100% based on hype. Microsoft will be the largest victim here, their entire product portfolio being turned into a nuclear fallout zone almost overnight. Satya and friends are going to trash the whole org. I regularly speak to laypeople who assume that it's some magical thing without limits that makes their lives better. They are also 100% unaware of any applications that will actually make their lives better. End game occurs when those two disconnected thoughts connect and they become disinterested. The power users and engineers who were on it a year ago are either burned out or finding the limitations a problem as well now. There is only magical thinking, lies and hope left. Granted there are some viable applications but they are rather less overstated than anything we have no and there are even negative side effects of those (think image classification, which even if it works properly, requires human review and there are psychological and competence things problems around that too).
