It's always this massive cop out.
"Things just got started. The future will be amazing".
I heard this with IoT, Wearables, Cryptocurrency, VR, now Gen AI.
Forgive me if after a while every vague gesture that "now it is for real" just becomes noise.

Just yesterday i ran Devstral Small 2 under koboldcpp with a MCP server that exposes a few simple set-file-contents, get-file-contents, show-file-tree commands and i asked it "fix the formatting in foo1.h using foo2.h as a reference and add doxygen comments using the documentation from API.md" and it did it, all running on my own old PC with everything fitting in a 4 euro USB stick.
To me this is amazing. Sure, there are a bunch of issues, but it far from anything reated to IoT/Wearables/Crypto/etc (VR despite being a niche has a lot of fans so i'm not sacking it with the rest). I couldn't even see myself caring about any of those, but i could see several ways how i could use AI/LLMs before i was even able to run one (though admittedly, not all things panned out as i expected :-P).
No no. The present is already amazing. If you don't see it yet it's on you. I've been having the most fun I've had in 25 years of doing this thing.
Your reply does not inspire much confidence. A personal anecdote that you love something is exactly the sort of response people got during the cryptocurrency hype cycle.
