In general:

Cynicism makes you sound smart. Optimism makes you successful.

The cynicism around this technology is everywhere, even though it clearly has real power to solve problems. It is a technology which enables so many use cases that were impossible before, that makes it very highly hyped/expected. And that is causing an immune (over) reaction by natural skeptics, that's an error.

People need to take a measured, reality based, view of how the technology is being used today, the adoption curve, and the increase in capabilities over time.

It's clearly being used strongly, and may even be revolutionary.

Bubbles burst when there's no 'there' there. AI has an undeniable 'there'—the only question is the timing of the ROI.
