Because the AI works so well, or because it doesn't?

That's kinda wild. I'm kinda shocked they put it in writing.

I just assume they over hired. Too much hype for AI. Everyone wants to build the framework people use for AI nobody wants to build the actual tools that make AI useful.

Maybe because there are just very few really useful AI tools that can be made?

Few tools are ok with sometimes right, sometimes wrong output.

There are N useful AI tools that can be made.

Where N is less than infinity.

Is it known that there are fewer than infinity tools?

I would assume that for any given tool you could make a "tool maker" tool.

You make a tool, then a tool factory, then a tool factory factory, ad infinitum.

Sprinkle in minimization and virtualization and it's extremely cool!
