I think GenAI is incredible in a lot of ways. I think for me it's frustrating that GenAI is currently being used in a way that largely regurgitates and hallucinates information, rather than aids a computer to follow instructions in plain English. For example, at least earlier versions of GenAI, when you asked it a question, it would make up an answer to that question using the knowledge in the training data. That's why we saw limitations on what events the AI knew about, for example. It would be great to see the AI understand the question, query a knowledge base for the answer and then rephrase that answer in English instead. I believe, though I've mostly kept out of the state of the art here, that's the direction it's going in, and I think if that's the case, the confidence in the AI will go up. If we can in parallel, decrease the horrendous amounts of energy being used to run the models, then maybe some of the detractors will start to turn?
