For the last 60 years, whenever AI achieves something revolutionary, some people immediately say "well that wasn't particulary revolutionary".

Every single time.

It's a tired argument, and we should strive for the intellectual humility to do better in this forum.

Maybe AI isn't that incredible, the more you use it, the more you realize it's a tool, like a VCR, maybe that's why?

What was sold as AI was basically a "computer person". Maybe that isn't the reality so when people are like, "here's the self coding machine" everyone is a bit disappointed because it's not C3PO?
