People immediately knew how internet could help us even during the dot com bubble. Anyone who had used Google (or before that, Yahoo) would immediately fall in love with them with how they help their live. AI (LLM)? Not so.

    The Internet boom didn't have the weird you're-holding-it-wrong vibe too. Legit "It doesn't help with my use case concerns" seem to all too often get answered with choruses of "but have you tried this week's model? Have you spent enough time trying to play with it and tweak it to get something more like you want?" Don't admit limits to the tech, just keep hitting the gacha.

    I've had people say I'm not approaching AI in "good faith". I say that you didn't need "good faith" to see that Lotus 1-2-3 was more flexible and faster than tallying up inventory on paper, or that AltaVista was faster than browsing a card catalog.

    Perhaps you are unaware that AI has solved the Proteome. This was expected to be a 100 year project.
