Most people see a clumsy chatbot, most professionals see modest gains, and a tiny group is watching the curve go vertical, all at once.

The future is already here. It's just not very evenly distributed.

> a tiny group is watching the curve go vertical

Caveat: that same tiny group is employed by the AI vendors, meaning it's in their financial best interest to make it sound like the curve is going vertical.

The curve go vertical for what, precisely? For all the chest-puffing and ominous and cryptic comments from 'insiders' about these incredible capabilities every time they put something public it turns out to be a pale shadow of what was trumpeted. These are powerful useful tools but the quasi-cultish behaviour around them is getting old.

Congratulations, you've parroted something said by someone else.

I use models all day everyday, have unlimited access to all models. The curve is not going "verticle". I have all the workflows and meta agentic tooling, im not holding it wrong. Its bad, not everything is a 20th percentile problem.

There is in fact no indication of this, not evem the precious benchmaxxed benchmarks ya'll love to reference.

There is however a exponential curve of slop, and an ever increasing number of people who's minds are completely captured by these things.
